Dynamic Duo: Book 2
Picture Book: Do Unto Otters: A Book
about Manners
Author and Illustrator: Laurie Keller
Summary:
A wise owl gives Mr. Rabbit some advice about getting along with new otter neighbors.
“Just treat otters the same way you’d like them to treat you.” Then there are lots
of comical details about how Mr. Rabbit would like to be treated. The otters
help out with the explanations as various scenarios are considered in hilarious
ways.
Hanna’s Comments: Social skills instruction and clever puns abound in this entertaining
picture book. Like yesterday’s PBT offering, this book is about The Golden
Rule, but today’s offering is less historical and more hysterical.
