Average rating
The seventh in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger readers by Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters. With beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon.
Jasmine’s dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself…
Jasmine and Tom are amazed to spot a baby otter alone on the riverbank. When the little cub is swept downstream, they risk everything to rescue her. But where is her family? Can Jasmine and Tom find Pebble’s home before it’s too late?
Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged seven and up.
Check out Jasmine’s other adventures:
A Duckling Called Button
A Sheepdog Called Sky
A Kitten Called Holly
and many more!

When people can't swim or get out of the water we should help people so they don't drown and the Otter is Pebbles like me

My favourite character is Jasmine because she love animals and she saved Pebble the seal. I didn't like the part how Prunella shark said Pebble couldn't go back to his family but Neil took Tom , Jasmine and Pebble anyway and Pebble found his family in the end. The book was good.

It was sweet when Jasmine and Tom found pebble and saved him from getting swept downstream. It was lucky but a bit sad when they had to release Pebble back to her family.

I thought that this book was brilliant and had great illustrations. The first thing that you are interested in is the scenery.
