What is Sea Otter Goes Hunting about?

A young sea otter is ready to hunt for his own food, but diving beneath the waves is harder than he expected. Remembering his mother’s lessons, he searches the sea floor for a clam. Can he open its tough shell and enjoy his first meal by himself? With patience, practice and a clever technique using a stone, the little otter discovers that he can succeed on his own. A gentle story about growing up, learning new skills and becoming more independent.
