Review originally posted at The Children's Book and Media Review

Otter goes to the museum—the best place ever!—and gets to see a lot of fun things about space. She even gets to see a moon rock that came all the way from the moon. Otter Keeper doesn’t let Otter buy everything she needs from the gift shop, so she decides that she should get a moon rock from the same place the museum did: the moon! Otter and Teddy build their space suits, do some training, and build a spaceship. They find the best moon rock they can before going back to earth to play with it.

Although the book is about an otter, children and parents will recognize that they make believe in the same way that Otter does. Otter’s unique voice and personality conveyed through both the text and illustrations create humor and excitement for the reader. This book will delight fans of the first book, I am Otter, as well as create new friends for Otter and Teddy. ( )

That imaginative and mischief-making otter, whose story began in British author/artist Sam Garton's I Am Otter, returns in this second entertaining picture-book romp. When the Otter Keeper takes Otter and her best friend Teddy to the museum, the little lutrine trouble-maker is intrigued by the displays devoted to outer space. The next day, while playing with Teddy, Otter decides that in order to get the moon rock they (clearly) need, they will have to travel to the source...

Like its predecessor, Otter in Space pairs an amusing tale with bright, colorful illustrations. Otter is an endearing little heroine, and her imaginative play, and penchant for making an utter mess, are sure to strike a chord with many young readers/listeners. I appreciated her wild imagination, and found the addition of "digging up moon rocks" to the list of no-nos posted on the family refrigerator, quite amusing. Recommended to all young otter lovers, and to anyone who read and enjoyed the first story about Otter. ( )

a fun book about otter going to a museum and deciding that is going to go home and build a rocket to go to the moon. he gathers his materials and "goes to the moon" and brings home a moon rock. he had a fun time.
