Oscar, A Sea Otter Pup: The Sea Creatures of Monterey Bay

Oscar, a furry, newborn sea otter, discovers that his home is in Monterey Bay, a world of water. He is solely dependent on his mother for food, security, and guidance. When mother goes for food, Oscar is left alone for the first time. Rather than stay put as his mother instructed, he decides to explore the environment on his own. He encounters a variety of sea creatures, from the shy hermit crab to the gentle octopus and the hungry shark. These sea creatures, some nice and some not so nice, are able to encourage Oscar to return home and be content with his mother’s love and direction. Oscar decides that home is a good place to be with his family. And to enjoy life as a sheltered, young sea otter. Appropriate for ages 1 – 7
