I wish they would reprint this entire Survival! series, darn it. We found the Otter one in a second-hand store and my 3- and 5-year-old adore it. What you do is, as you read, you have to choose the animal's actions out of two or more options. Will he go up the bank or try to catch the slow fish, etc.? Whichever action you choose has a consequence. It is sort of a naturalist's version of Goosebumps "You Choose the Scare", and much more informative. The author makes it clear that pollution and encroachment of humans on animal habitat make for a greater percentage of dangerous choices, which is why some types of wildlife are disappearing. Even after my little boy "learned" which choices were safest for the otter to make, ensuring a "survival" outcome, he still wanted to read it again and again. Though my preschoolers liked it, I would actually recommend it for ages 4-8.
