Otter Loves Easter! - by Sam Garton (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Otter--the irrepressible picture book character, sure to be adored by fans of Llama Llama--celebrates Easter with a little too much chocolate and a lot of creativity in this paper-over-board book.

This year the Easter Bunny brought Otter lots of chocolate eggs--her favorite! Otter Keeper said she had to share them with her friends, but sharing is very hard . . . and eating chocolate is very easy. Otter didn't want Teddy, Giraffe, and Pig to be sad, though. Someone had to save Easter--and she knew just the right Otter for the job!

With Otter's winning voice and Sam Garton's classic yet fresh artwork, Otter Loves Easter! is sure to be another holiday favorite.
