Book description
The sixth animal in the hilarious AWESOME ANIMALS series - awesome
adventures with the wildest wildlife.
The otterly bonkers Brown family are HUGELY excited, as today's the day
they move to their new home. But when they get there they find the
beastly Black family have got there first!
This riverbank ain't big enough for the both of them, so there's only
one thing for it: war. Well, not REAL war. Otters are more into playing
than fighting, so instead they decide to hold a giant sports day - and
may the best otters win! Whether that's the Browns or the Blacks, only
time will tell, but one thing's for sure, it's bound to be OTTER CHAOS!
PRAISE FOR THE AWESOME ANIMALS SERIES:

“This book is witty and wonderful.” - The Liverpool Echo Michael
Broad lives in Surrey with a big black dog called Bella who likes to
drop toys at his feet while he's writing or drawing and then waits for
him to get up and trip over them.
Michael studied illustration at Portsmouth University, earning 1st Class
Honors, and after brief detours in film and animation he now works
solely on writing and illustrating books for children of all ages.
His picture books include Scaredy Cat and Boo! which was nominated for
the Kate Greenaway Medal. He also writes young fiction series like The
Unbelievable Adventures of Jake Cake, of which the first book, The
Werewolf Teacher, was shortlisted for the Waterstone's Children's Book
Prize and the Nottingham Children's Book Award.
Michael has a particular interest in writing for reluctant readers,
having been one himself, so he tries to pack as much adventure into as
few words as possible, and then throws in oodles of illustrations!
When he's not writing or drawing, which is hardly ever because it's so
much fun, Michael likes long walks with Bella, drinking whole pots of
tea and painting big canvasses.
