FROM THE CRITICS
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 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.-Nancy A.
