Before picking up Over the Hills & Far Away, my only exposure to this song was through the television show Sharpe, a historical drama set during the Napoleonic Wars, so I was surprised to discover that there are multiple versions of it, and that it started out as a nursery rhyme. Conover does an excellent job expanding upon her text, telling a story of Tommy the piping otter through her lovely artwork. This is the fourth picture-book of hers that I have read and enjoyed, and I definitely intend to track down more. Recommended to fans of the artist, readers looking for nursery rhyme picture-books, and otter lovers. For myself, I may have to start an otter shelf. ( )
