About The Book

When an adorable otter finds a box filled with fancy clothes and a crown, he declares himself King Otter, ruler of his riverside realm.

He wastes no time in ordering his loyal subjects to throw him the biggest, grandest parade in history! But will this be a party to remember, or will the King's bossy demands make for a royal disaster?

A fabulous fable about the importance of friendship from Jane Porter, author of Pink Lion and illustrator of Wings!
