The other day, Teddy and I asked Otter Keeper how many days were left before our book comes out (we usually ask this question at least 4 or 5 times each day), and he said he had some good news! It turns out he’s finally finished the last bit, which is the front cover. Although the book still won’t be out until next year, he says we are allowed to show everyone the cover next Tuesday, October 8!
But the best news of all is that he says we can celebrate by holding a competition! Otter Keeper may be a slow colourer, but I have to admit he has some very fun ideas. He says the competition will be a quiz, and even better, he let ME choose the questions! I’ve decided there will be 3 winners, and for prizes, each winner will get a copy of our book (signed by me!). I thought about also offering a weekend holiday with Teddy as a prize…but I realised I’d miss him too much.
Otter Keeper has put me in charge of the competition, so we’ve set up our Important Competition Headquarters in the hallway. If you want to enter, just fill in the questions below! (Only Giraffe and Pig have entered so far). You can enter the competition until next Tuesday morning, when we’ll announce the 3 winners AND show everyone the cover!
Good luck! (I can tell you now that Giraffe hasn’t won. He got a question wrong, even though I helped him.)
Sorry everyone, but the best competition ever is now closed! Don’t worry, we’ll have another one soon.
Wonderful competition!!!! Loving your choice of questions!!!! Can’t wait for the book here.
Sending big hugs to you and Teddy from Germany.
I think Giraffe is egging Teddy on.
How excellent. I’ve just found these stories and they are perfect for my nephews. They also have a Teddy who gets them in to trouble!
Ottertastic!
Did Teddy (with help from Otter) invent TED talks? I think so. They’re named after him. These were really hard questions! But we loved taking part and can’t wait to enjoy the whole book when it’s in the shops.
I am delighted by the news of the book! Don’t get tired signing all of those copies, Otter!
So nice to see Giraffe finally front and center on Otter’s homepage. Hopefully he won’t mess this up!
Otterly awesome competition! Ps. I had to give Teddy 5 stars as he’s so good at helping make toast.. what’s that? You’re picking the winners Teddy? Please see note above, Teddy 😀
What a fun competition with very interesting questions – I give it five stars!
YAY! I like this kind of quiz, just my level 😉
Great news on the final colouring moments! If there aren’t too many words I might be able to translate the book into Dutch. Xx

What a fabby competition. Otter you are very clever to think of all those questions! I just can’t wait for your book to come out. I am going to make sure that all my friends get a copy so they can see how lovely you and Teddy are.
I think this was a wonderful competition! I like to take quizzes. I’m so proud to know you and Teddy.
Hooray!!!! Best Tuesday news ever! Even better than Friday newses!!
Wow, that was a whirlwind of fun! You should do more quizzes, Otter. Lxx
Well! That was incredibubbly exciting! I’m just glad I was sitting down to answer all the questions or I’d maybe have fallen over with excitement!!!
Thank you Frances! It is a very exciting quiz. The testing process was very hard due to excessive levels of constant excitement. Teddy is still finding it hard to sleep!
I’ll try! Otter Keeper usually puts a limit on everything that is fun, though. we are only allowed 15 toys in the bath at bath time (as an example)
Thanks Heidi, Me and Teddy are pleased to have played a part in making Tuesday, more Friday like…
Thanks Patty!! Glad you enjoyed the quiz (and gave me 5/5 stars!)
Thanks so much Caroline, you sound like the best friend an Otter (or a Teddy) could ever have, ever! We might get the craft box out later and make you a badge!
Teddy is grateful for his 5 stars, Mandy. He says thanks! He’s a little upset though as someone gave him 1 star……Teddy needs to get over it
Thanks Ruth, we tried to make the quiz more fun than most other quizes. Luckily Otter Keeper says I am a natural quiz writer. I’m quite proud 🙂
Wow, I didn’t think about rating the actual quiz out of 5 stars. What a fantastic idea!
There he is, Giraffe!
OH I won’t, I’ve got a special pen all ready!!!
Ummm, I’m not too sure what Ted talks is? I don’t think he invented it as he doesn’t usually invent things without me.
Thank you very much!!
OH yes Fenris, Teddies get more people into trouble than you’d think. Especially mine, I’m teaching him to be better behaved though.
I think he might just be, it’s hard to tell what Giraffe is thinking sometimes…
Thanks Renate!! Hope you enjoyed the quiz! It was a very good quiz really, wasn’t it 🙂
What an excellent competition Otter, I hope you’ve had a wonderful time reading all the entries & comments.
fantastic, can’t wait for the book. Oh, and by the way, i love your questions otter, very original!!!!

Best competition ever Otter!
Thanks Jasper, I always try to be original with quizzes. Which is why I’m so good at them!
Thank you Otter!!! The quiz was fantastic and I reallyreallyreally love to rate things with the stars! It was amazing :3
Thanks Sue. It was the best (and first) Otter competition. However, it’s been so much fun, I’m going to put in a request form with Otter Keeper to have one each day of the week. I see no reason it will be rejected. No logical reason anyway..
Thanks Kirsten. I can’t read that fast, so I Otter Keeper says we will sit down together and he will read them. We’re going to have hot chocolate too…I love quizzes.
Thanks Valentina, yep, you don’t get much more fun than rating things with stars…
That was a brilliant competition and lots of fun. So happy about the book news. XXXXXX
He ! He ! I’m so glad I uprated Teddy even without knowing he’d select the winners ! You did a great job, Otter, your quizz is amazing and, as ever, your comments are the best ! There is just a drawback (this is intentional although I’m not good in orthography as otters think bouncy and sinuously): if I share your fabulous quizz, there will be more competitors and I’ll have less chances to win ! This is very unfair and I’m sure Giraffe gave you this hint since she’s already off !
Can’t wait seing the cover page !
XXX
Hi Bev! Thanks so much… we can’t wait to get the book, it’s been sooooooooooooooo long. Hurry up next year!
Hello Louloute! You do make some good points, but i’ve been thinking, and it’s OK because this is a magic competition. The more people enter the more chance you have of winning. I can’t really explain why.. I think it’s something to do with science. We can’t wait to see the cover page either!!!
I am so looking forward to seeing your book, Otter! Can’t wait!!! And the quiz was the best ever!
Awww thanks Emily. I’m glad you liked the quiz, me and Teddy thought very hard about the questions. I think we did really well though, and I’m considering becoming a professional quiz maker (I just need to work out if that’s something it’s possible to be?)
Otter you are just the best, I loved this competition almost as much as I love you! (and Teddy)
Amazing guestions Otter, I hope I got them right. Can’t wait to see the cover…and the BOOK! xx
i love you otter and tedy
