Meet Ivy & Otis

Big questions. Backyard mysteries. One very curious kid who isn’t afraid to be wrong.

Notebook in hand, pencil behind her ear, backpack on — Ivy is a full-time investigator of everything just outside her back door. Her partner in the field: Otis, her shaggy, unshakeable dog.

Ivy is sure she knows the answers. Otis isn’t so sure.

So they crouch, sniff, and follow the clues wherever they lead — discovering along the way that real science isn’t about always being right. It’s about looking closely enough to get it right.

Ivy & Otis is a picture-book series about backyard adventure, gentle humor, hands-on science, and the joy of figuring things out — one natural mystery at a time.
