The Otter's Secret Treasure

Ollie the otter spends his mornings diving for shiny stones and smooth shells in the river near his cozy burrow, always hoping to find something bigger. When he pulls a carved wooden chest from the mud, he expects gold coins, but inside he finds old, yellowed maps marked with winding streams, hidden ponds and wetlands he has never heard of. At first disappointed, Ollie begins to wonder whether the maps might point to a different kind of treasure.

With Mara the heron scouting landmarks through her brass spyglass and Pip the frog testing each new pond with a happy splash, Ollie follows the maps through curtains of willow branches. The friends discover clear streams and quiet ponds full of dragonflies, learn the names of plants and the ways of the water, and Ollie scribbles notes in the margins until the paper becomes a record of their shared finds.
