Otter Chaos #1
Otter Chaos!
The otterly bonkers Brown family are hugely excited, as today's the day they move to their new home. But when they get there they find the beastly Black family have got there first. This riverbank ain't big enough for the both of them, so there's only one thing for war. Well, not real war. Otters are more into playing than fighting, so instead they decide to hold a giant sports day - and may the best otters win.

Good fun. Lks2 age range.
Two otter families compete to live in the old Beaver house. Little did they know there was already rivalry between the two oldest members of each family.
The Mums of course are far too sensible!

Fena olmayan güzel bir kitaptı. Çok uzundu ama ben hızlı bitirdim. Biraz maceralıydı, çok maceralı değildi. Okuyun, belki beğenirsiniz.

I really enjoyed sharing this with my son at bedtimes. Its a simple story about the conflict between 2 otters that dates back to their youth so that they still hate each other when they are grandfathers.
Each otter has his own family (the Blacks and the Browns) with 3 generations all needing a new home. The 2 youngest otters in each family are best friends so they are very upset to learn of the family feud. Things get worse when both families claim the same new home as theirs.
As the grandfathers used to be boxers as young otters they decide that the 2 families must compete against each other in varying competitions to see which family deserves to win the nice big home. It is only the 2 mother otters that take a back seat on this and build up a friendship whilst observing their families antics.
The characters of each of the otters are well created so that they are all individuals. The question is can the young otters friendship survive the contest? And which family will be made homeless at the end of the day?
A good book for confident young readers or to share as there are just enough illustrations and the story keeps you going.

I love this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I love animals anyway so reading a story about them is great!
This book is amazing. When the Brown family, a family of Otter’s decide their house is getting too small for them, Papa Brown, Mama Brown, Grandma Maple, Grandpa Brown, Cocoa, Beanie, Woody, Chestnut and Nutmeg (The twins), decide to move to a bigger, better house only to find another otter family (their arch enemies) were already living there. The only way to settle the dispute over who lives there was an ‘Otterly’ chaotic sports day!
I don’t want to give it away but an act of surprising kindness by Woody cost the Brown’s the victory.
This is a surprising book with a twist at the end. I really like Jim Field’s illustrations too. I’m looking forward to the next book Otter Chaos – Dam Busters.
Verdict: I love this book and think this book is for boys and girls aged 7 to 12 .
