Carol Stream, Ill. (August 13, 2019)—Focus on the Family, in alliance with Tyndale House Publishers, will release Otter B Helpful, Otter B Taking Turns, and Otter B Trustworthy on October 8, 2019.

The series is based on a character named Otter who gets involved in various situations in which he learns a lesson about godly character based on the outcome of his actions.
Otter B Helpful (#4)—Otter learns to be helpful when his grandparents come for a visit. Each book includes an appropriate Bible verse, and Otter B Helpful ends with this takeaway about the lesson: “There’s always lots of work to do in every family. God says that helping out is best. It’s how you Otter Be!”
Otter B Taking Turns (#5)—Otter learns to take turns with his friends at the playground.
Otter B Trustworthy (#6)—When Otter doesn’t put back his parents’ things like he promised, they get wet in the rain. He learns what it means to be trustworthy.
