A mother giant river otter leaves the water and finds an underground den to give birth to her babies. After a month, the young ones come out of the den to begin their lives in the outside world. In this coming-of-age introduction to the largest otter in the world, readers will learn how these jungle babies find food, how they defend their home turf, and how they grow so quickly that, at ten months old, they are already as big as their parents! The colorful interior spreads and gorgeous photos of giant river otter babies are sure to delight emergent readers.
