Otter B Forgiving

Otter B Forgiving is the eleventh in a series of children's books that teach young children basic biblical values. In this story, Otter B's friend Roscoe accidentally wrecks Otter B's new birthday present. Roscoe says he's sorry, but Otter B is too upset to forgive his friend.

The next day, Otter B is riding bikes with his other friends and accidentally knocks Tabitha off her bike. When Otter B apologizes, Tabitha forgives him right away. Otter B is so relieved that he runs right over to Roscoe's house. Not only does he forgive Roscoe for damaging his boat, he also asks Roscoe to forgive him for being so upset. When Otter B says his prayers that night, he asks God to bless all of his friends, especially Roscoe. Then he sleeps soundly, thankful that he's been forgiven too.

Each book in the series ends with a rhyme that reinforces the lesson and includes an appropriate Bible verse.

"When a friend does something wrong
and you're mad as mad can be,
saying 'I forgive you' helps.
It's how you Otter Be!" (Ephesians 4:32)
