In The Know It Owl and The Otter, we are introduced to two adorable animals. First, we meet the Otter who thinks he knows all about himself and his fellow otters because that’s exactly what he is. The Know It Owl, however, disagrees with many of the statements made by the other animal. When Otter tells the reader that his kind is native to Antarctica, Know It Owl corrects him by telling him that they are, in fact, not located anywhere near the frozen continent. From there, the brilliant owl gives us the right facts, and Otter has to admit that his bird friend knows more than he does. Together, we learn some interesting facts about otters that you might not have known before.
