Enjoy the exciting and comical real-life adventures of a smart and adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as he learns to get along in his human family, discovers he loves luxury, and (almost) learns to fly a plane. Author Babette Williams uses droll wit and humor as she gets inside the mind of this unusual and classy dog as he meets various people and animals—some of them scary, at least at first—and learns the ABCs of dog behavior.

The perfect book for read-aloud family fun and laughter! You don’t have to own a dog to learn something new when you explore the human world through the five doggy senses of Otis.
