More about Oggie the Otter
The otter family has a problem: little Oggie only wants to eat orange foods. His mother does not understand and she tries to convince him to taste different foods–foods that children usually love–but Oggie is not interested. Frustrated and on the verge of giving up, his mother has a brilliant idea. Both Oggie and his mom learn that when they change their perspectives, great things happen.
A heartwarming, relatable story of a mother and son that can be enjoyed by picky eaters and foodies alike.
