Playful Slider

First published in 1993, this book would normally be outside the date range of this blog. However, I recently saw an advertisement where the University of Minnesota Press has rereleased it. If you missed it the first time, here is your second chance.
This book, written by Barbara Esbensen, describes the daily life of the American river otter. Unlike their more aggressive relatives in the weasel family (including badgers, wolverines, and skunks), river otters are known for their sense of fun and playfulness. The realistic illustrations by Mary Barrett Brown add to the enjoyment of this informative book.
