Summary: 5 stars for my 5 year old
Review: My son loves me to read this to him. It is one of the few books where he is enthralled and has a great smile - sortof like when he is watching other children play. The story line is an child Otter that loves to slide down into the pond decides to venture into the mountains to make a really big, great slide and gets chased by a wolf - but keeps his wits about him. There are morals to the story, when the parent warns you of danger there is a reason; and be resourceful when faced with a challenge. The State of California, Dept of Education, has this book on their reccomended "level 1" readers list. It deserves it.

Summary: Haunting images
Review: This was a favorite book of mine as a child - the images have stayed with me all these years, especially Oscar trying to get home at night through the dark woods. I remember finding it a little scary, but maybe that's what made it so memorable.
