Meet Oz Otter – the cub with a camera and a nose for a great story!
Oz is the star of a charming new picture book series designed for curious young readers aged 3 to 7. As the youngest (and furriest!) photojournalist for Otterville’s The Couch Chronicle newspaper, Oz is always off on exciting new assignments – snapping photos, gathering clues, and inviting children to solve the mystery behind each picture he takes.
Each book in the series follows a delightful theme that children can explore through beautifully illustrated scenes, engaging clues, and interactive guessing games.
- Book 1 – Oz Otter’s Big Job Hunt: Oz roams the otter village, photographing otters at work. Can you guess each otter’s job from the clues on the page?
- Book 2 – Guess Who? At the Zoo with Oz Otter: Oz visits the Otterville Zoo and photographs creatures of all shapes and sizes. Can you name the animal, bird, insect, or fish he finds?
- Book 3 – Oz Otter’s Visit to the Seaside: Oz is tasked by his newspaper’s Editor to visit the Otterville beach and take photographs. Can you help Oz name the items he finds there?
- And many more adventures!
This interactive series is perfect for reading aloud with a grown-up. Each page features gentle clues to spark thinking and discussion, and the answer is hidden under a fold-out flap for added fun and surprise.
