About the Author
David Milgrim thinks robots, for the most part, take themselves much too seriously. He hopes that his Otto series will inspire robots to get out, have some fun, and make some friends. David's other inspirational books include My Friend Lucky; Here in Space; and Cows Can't Fly, an IRA/CBC Children's Choice Winner. He lives in Rhode Island with his wife, Kyra, and their baby son, Wyatt, who has lots of fun tearing out the pages of his daddy's books.
Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 1-Otto is a small robot that rides on Peanut the Elephant's back. The huffing and puffing monkeys, Flip and Flop, join it for the ride. Along the way, other animals climb up, until Spec the bug hops on and Peanut collapses. Otto then bangs together a wagon to pull Peanut and off they go to play in the water. The simple and predictable story is told as much through the bold illustrations as through the very brief and easy text. It follows the stated guidelines of the series with word repetition, simple sentences, and familiar words and phrases. Flowing much like a "Dick and Jane" primer with added humor, this tale will appeal to fledgling readers.
