There are many things that Martha does, but apologizing isn't one of them. There are three little words that can be very hard to say (No, not "I love you"): "I am sorry." Adorably clad in her frilly pink dress and matching headband, it appears this little otter is sweet as sugar. But mother and father won't be fooled by her sometimes naughty and stubborn behavior and will go to great lengths to teach her to apologize for her antics. Eventually, Martha learns the importance of apologizing and the (ultimately) rewarding feeling that comes with saying she's sorry.

The watercolor-and-colored-pencil artwork encapsulates Martha's girliness, her better-than-thou attitude and her internal struggle with her conscience. Whatley's representations of body language and facial expression powerfully complement the text. An enjoyable introduction to what could be a new beloved character KIRKUS
