Under the assumption that this book would actually tell me something about river otters, I purchased it. In a condescending and prolix style, the author describes her spiritual journey into Native American beliefs using otters as a vehicle for her exploration.

It would be a perfectly lovely gift for a bright child interested in a holistic approach to nature and the world around us.

Did you know over 350,000 animal hairs could fit into one square inch? The Otter Spirit will entertain you with facts and fun relating to the playful spirit of a serious wildlife researcher's adventures in the wilds. Berg's original poetry sprinkled throughout the book distills Nature's cycles into an essence of life's personal and universal journeys. The Otter Spirit opens pathways to our own explorations within ourselves and Nature. Read and enjoy!

WHILE OTTERS MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN MY FIRST CHOICE FOR READING MATERIAL, I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT ONCE I GOT INTO THE STORY I WAS FASCINATED. IT CERTAINLY OPENED MY EYES TO THE WONDERS OF MOTHER NATURE'S WORLD. ALSO, I AM PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED WITH THE PERSEVERANCE AND DEDICATION OF THE AUTHOR, WHO SACRIFICED 12 YEARS OF HER LIFE WORKING ON THE PROJECT. "OTTER'S" IS JUST A CLASSY AND PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN BOOK, WHICH ENTERTAINS AS WELL AS EDUCATES. I CAN WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND IT TO BOTH "NATURE LOVERS" AND "COUCH POTATOES".
