Ollie and the Otter
A Scottish Osprey Story
£6.99
Ollie the osprey loves to catch fish, but he can’t throw them! And if he can’t throw a fish to Isla, she’ll never notice him. (Throwing fish is how ospreys make friends!) Can Rory the otter help him?
A charming story about doing what you love, full of fun sounds and adorable Scottish wildlife.
