Ride, Otto, Ride! The Adventures of Otto by David Milgrim- ESSENTIAL


Milgrim, David The Adventures of Otto: Ride, Otto, Ride! EARLY READER. Simon Spotlight, 2016. $3.99.  9780689844171

Flip and Flop are walking in the desert.  They walk and walk until they are very tired! Luckily Otto and Peanut come walking by.  Otto gives Flip and Flop a ride.  It isn’t long before more friends need a ride.  Everyone is welcome to climb atop Otto for relief from walking in the heat.  Otto soon becomes very tired of carrying all of his friends.  When Spec, a small tiny creature, hops on top of Otto’s trunk, Otto crashes to the ground.  The animal friends then build a wagon to pull Otto to their destination.  Once they arrive at the lake, they enjoy a fun day together.  

This is a perfect Early Reader.  The words are simple yet the story is fun.  The illustrations are wonderful! Each reader will delight in the story and in the illustrations.
