This seems like it’s supposed to be a Valentines book, but I find it does not work. Otto is lonely and really wants to make friends but is too scared to try and make friends. When the group see an otter off by themselves, they go find them, but the more otters approach the more other runs away. Eventually they get close, and one tells the other that it’s OK that I’m alone I’m not lonely. But this still makes them go off happily ever after. it seems like the beginning of a toxic relationship. One flat out says I am not lonely yet the other still wants to play together. This is meant to be a fun cute kids book and it is the adult and me thinking we should be teaching about boundaries and consent.
