Otto takes pride in his ability to steal worms from unsuspecting fishermen’s lines without getting caught. When three children set out in their boat, ignoring their grandmother’s warnings, Otto decides to have a bit of fun. But when the children become lost and stranded, Otto decides he must lend a fin.

This story teaches problem solving skills as the children must find a way to row the boat home. It also demonstrates the harm that can come from teasing others and emphasizes that it is more rewarding to be kind to others instead.

"A sweetly illustrated picture book with a strong 'help out' message. Perfect for nature-loving, young adventurers." - The Wishing Shelf
