jaseychris's review against another edition
5.0
The Otter Who Loved to Hold Hands is about a little otter named Otto who is afraid to let go of his mom and dad's hand. Every night, Otto's family hold hands in the water so that way when they sleep, they won't drift away from on another. Otto is afraid that if he let's go during the day time, he will float away and not be able to swim on his own. One day, his mother finds an oyster and opens in up. Inside is a beautiful pearl that may just help Otto get over his fear.
Activity- Have the children pair up and hold hands. Give them various activities to do around the classroom without letting go of each other's hands. Have them discuss what was difficult to do while holding another person's hand and what was easy. Have the children discuss some of their fears like Otto's about letting go.
