From School Library Journal K-Gr 3—Otter, the always exuberant, occasionally exasperating, but definitely lovable character who was first introduced in Garton's I Am Otter (HarperCollins, 2014) is back. A trip to the museum has turned the spirited creature on to the wonder of space travel, and when she gets home, she decides to plan a journey to obtain a moon rock of her own. Otter delegates jobs to her stuffed toys (constant companion Teddy becomes a fellow astronaut, while Giraffe is tasked with Mission Control), builds a space suit out of a cardboard box, and blasts off using a playground slide. Though the digitally created, cartoonlike illustrations depict laugh-out-loud situations (the hapless Teddy enduring a cycle through the dryer as part of his antigravity training), they're also warm, gently portraying the expressive young animal through ups and downs. Her observations are endearingly naive, and there's often a delightfully childlike contrast between what she imagines and what's actually occurring, such as her belief that the inanimate Teddy has ideas and opinions of his own (for instance, an image of the slumped-over bear is paired with text that reads, "Teddy took his space suit off. He didn't seem to be taking space travel seriously."). Kids will enjoy Otter's riotous antics, while adults may sympathize with her put-upon guardian, Otter Keeper, who returns at the end of the day from work to discover the mischief wrought by a well-intentioned ward who just can't seem to stay out of trouble. VERDICT Another "Aw"-inspiring adventure with Otter.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal
Review “From “mishun control” to launch and liftoff, Garton’s bright, shiny digital illustrations are full of sparkle and humor. Lively, giggle-producing proof that imaginative play is just as good as getting to the moon.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))“Bound to please established fans and to cultivate some new ones.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)
From the Back Cover
Hi! I am Otter.
This is a story of the time my best friend Teddy and I did something really incredible. We went on a very, very important mission—to the moon! In a rocket!
I can't wait for you to read about what happened. (Shhhh! Don't give it away, Teddy!)

Remarkably, This Second Otter Story Is Even Better Than the First By Pop Bop The first Otter book, (I Am Otter), had to bear the burden of introducing Otter, Otter Keeper, Otter's best friend Teddy and the entire world of Otter. It was charming and imaginative, but as I say it had to cover a lot of ground. It was still marvelous. When all of the elements come together in just the right balance - as they did then - you have a real winner.But this book. First off, Otter Keeper takes Otter and Teddy to the Museum, which is where they see a special exhibit and get the idea to travel into space. But get this. Before that happens, Otter wanders around the rest of the Museum. She makes passing observations about dinosaurs, old paintings, old stuff in general and gift shops. Each comment is a one sentence gem that captures, in full deadpan earnestness, the authentic reaction of a kid in a museum. It's funny; it's true; it's charming, endearing, and not one tiny bit affected.The whole trip to the Moon is just bonus time and it works, again, because of Otter's deadpan and guileless delivery. Nothing about these books is cutesy or twee. There are no false notes and the author never hedges his bets by introducing irony. Otter is sincere, honest, focused and totally insane as only a four year old kid can be, and Gartner just nails that weird combination of fantasy and practicality that is a little kid's head. The effect is arresting, entertaining and admirable.It helps that the drawings here are crisp, well colored, and very expressive. Emotions like "frustration", actions like "adventuring", and feelings like "inspiration", are brutally difficult to capture and express in drawings, but Garton gets it right on every page. It is always clear what is going on with Otter, and it's possible for a little reader to make a real connection with these visuals. There is a disconnect between what one sees, (Otter in a cardboard box), and what Otter is imagining, (Otter in a spaceship), and the author gets the charm and humor of that disconnect right without at all mocking Otter's creativity or imagination.Captions and narrative are challenging because it's so easy to get cloying or clunky. Again, Garton hits that poetic sweet spot where he writes just enough to drive the tale without overreaching.So, Otter remains just the right combination of funny, mellow, curious, spirited, playful and appealing. She doesn't come with a lot of extra business; she isn't weighed down with any message; there isn't anything heavy handed about her story. The whole tone or feeling here is one of creative play and security and discovery. And isn't that just exactly what you want in a favorite picture book?

Her adventures are just as real to us as they are to her because the want them to be. This book is a delight and you don't have to be a child to think so. Sam Garton's art is intriguing all by itself. I recommend this little book for children of all ages.
