Who’s splashing in the river? Swim along with curious Oscar Otter and his water-loving friends as they search for an elusive goldfish. Maurice Pledger brings these playful characters—Vinnie the water vole, Katie the kingfisher bird, Sophie the salmon, and a variety of others—to life with his gorgeous illustrations in this redesigned classic peek-and-find adventure. Children can lift-the-flaps to help Oscar look under rocks, water lilies, and a beaver’s dam, revealing fun surprises. The highlight of the book is a giant full-spread pop-up surprise at the end.

Get ready to explore the ocean! Join Dewey Dolphin and his friends and find out about the many different creatures living above and below the waves. Featuring the beautifully detailed art of Maurice Pledger, this sticker book has over 200 reusable stickers for kids to complete activities on each page.
