Unwrapping the Story
This inspiring rhyming book features an adorable enviornmenally conscious otter who is on a mission to rescue his litter-laden world. His pond is filled with trash and rubble caused by reckless, uncaring humans.
"Full of bottle tops, flip-flops,
paddle pops and table tops,
lollipops, soda pops,
and even a toy triceratops!"
Oh my! Otto is disgusted with the litter that keeps growing in his pond and realizes his friends need help too. Otto morphs into a superhero fighting the cause of pollution in his pond.
He rescues a crusty shelled clam, a bristled nose rat, a wiry old snake, a whistling duck, a warty coot newt, and a fingernail snail, just to name a few. With determination and a lot of hard work he transforms his precious pond back to its natural state. Hurray for Otto and his brave efforts to meet the crisis head-on! He thoughtfully and methodically collects the rogue trash and drops it into a human garbage can where it belonged in the first place. Great plan Otto! It's a winning strategy.
The book teaches children the importance of conserving their planet and the creatures that live here. It is book number 2 in the Rubbish Rebellion Series. The illustrations are so well executed and beautiful. They enrich the storyline greatly and resemble an animated cartoon. Kudos to the artist... she nailed it. I wish she had been acknowledged on the cover along with the author. She so deserves recognition for her wonderful work. The book's message is a call to action encouraging kids ( and adults ) to be good stewards of their world.

Meet the author
Chez Rafter was born in Sydney, Australia.
At the tiny age of two, Chez contracted whooping cough and polio, and lived the majority of her childhood in Camperdown Children’s Hospital in Sydney.
While confined to bed, she would look up at the clouds and imagine travelling to faraway places. When Chez was old enough to read books, they led her on a different pilgrimage, with classics like Alice in Wonderland and Mary Poppins taking her mind to a magical world, which she believed helped her recovery. Her recuperation has always been synonymous with her hunger to write.
Adversity teaches you many things and with sheer grit and determination, Chez has always remained positive. Life’s setbacks have been her stimulus to continually succeed and achieve.
