About this title

Reviews

PreS-Gr. 1. From the Ready-to-Read series that includes See Otto (2002) and Ride Otto Ride! (2002), this very simple book introduces a little mouse named Pip. "See Pip. See Pip point" begins the text. When Pip sees Otto's purple helium balloon, he points at it repeatedly until Otto politely hands it over. The balloon quickly lifts lightweight Pip into the air. A bee accidentally runs into the balloon and pops it, but Otto flies by in a clunky wooden airplane and saves Pip. Unfortunately, the plane crashes into a tree, and Otto and Pip splash into a pond beside a couple of hippos. The little one holds a red balloon. "See Pip point" the text concludes, implying a continuing story beyond the last page. The illustrations, large in scale and clearly delineated against white backgrounds, feature particularly expressive characters. Using a very few short words, plenty of action, and droll humor, Milgrim creates a book that even beginners will enjoy reading. Read-aloud fun for those not ready to read, too. Carolyn Phelan
