Little Otter and Dad are having a beach day!

But when Dad suggests they go for a swim, Little Otter hesitates. First the water looks cold. Later the waves are too rough. So they decide to build a sandcastle and go for a walk instead. Little Otter even makes a new friend along the way! At the end of the day, Little Otter feels ready to brave the waves. Except Little Otter doesn't want to go underwater--maybe next time!

A sweet story that expands the value of bravery, from trying new things to taking your time.
