Do Unto Otters: A Book About Manners (Laurie Keller)

 

Lots of word play in this book right from the title (do unto others...) and on throughout the book. The illustrations are super cute and this book would bring lots of laughs and be a good launch pad for a discussion on friendship.


Goodreads says:

Mr. Rabbit's new neighbors are Otters. OTTERS! But he doesn't know anything about Otters. Will they get along? Will they be friends? Just treat otters the same way you'd like them to treat you, advises wise Mr. Owl. And so begins Mr. Rabbit's reflection on good manners.

In her smart, quirky style Laurie Keller highlights how to be a good friend and neighbor--just follow the Golden Rule! This title has Common Core connections.
