Otto: The Boy Who Loved Cars

32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Porter | August, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-484-4 $15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Magoon. Otto loves cars. He eats "Wheelies" for breakfast, plays "Race Around the Playground," and even counts Jeeps to fall asleep. When Otto somehow turns into a car, he realizes that reading, eating, and swinging are now impossible. Heeding Mom's advice to "switch gears," Otto finds a comfortable balance as a car-loving boy. Colorful and stylish illustrations play up the automobile obsession.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
