All the other otters and pirates and sharks just laugh at Kelpy's ramshackle craft, but Kelpy sails on. Until one day on the high seas, he encounters a sailor even more laughable than himself--a petite butterfly pirate in a teeny-tiny boat. <p/> Kelpy's laughter shifts to empathy when he realizes how much he has hurt the tiny pirate's feelings. So Kelpy decides to scuttle his beloved boat in a playful ploy to repair the emotional damage he's done. Along the way, an unlikely friendship (and rivalry) begins. <p/> Packed with rhyme, repetition, and lots of humor, this is a read-aloud with a heartwarming message about following your dreams even in the face of ridicule and doubt, and how even an underdog can lift someone up.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The Sinking of Captain Otter should spark the imagination and playfulness of readers both young and old."-- "Resource Links"<br><br>"With an important message, creative formatting and lovely pictures, The Sinking of Captain Otter is a great picture book to have in collections."-- "Canadian Review of Materials"<br><br>Fun--and with a supportive message for readers who march to different drums.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>The story has some repeating text that would be fun for the classroom read aloud.
