My daughters are fans of Todd Parr's series, Todd World, so they begged me to buy this book. This plucky dog with an active imagination who doesn't feel like going to bed isn't Benny, the dog from the TV show, but he's very similar. Though even if you aren't familiar with the Todd World characters, how could you fall in love with Otto? It's a great story of bed time routines and how thinking about all the things one likes to do can lead to pleasant bedtimes and even better dreams. The illustrations are bold, colorful and happy. My preschoolers love everything about this book and so do I, quite frankly. I can't tell you how many times I've read it at bedtime and still, every time this book gets picked out (and it happens a lot) it is always a joy to read.

My son loves this story and asks me to read it over and over!
Thanks

My son has loved this book since he was about a year old. And two years later he still enjoys reading it with Mommy and Daddy. The story is cute, the pictures are vivid and colorful. And it's short enough to keep a young toddler's attention.

My MIL got this for my 3-year-old when she was being difficult about bedtime, and I think it helped. She loved hearing about how Otto didn't want to go to bed, but he did anyway and then got to dream about his favorite things. Very cute (and not at all annoying for the parent who will have to read it over and over and over!).

I returned this book to the library weeks ago and my 18 month old daughter is still asking me for "Otto!!!" multiple times a day/every day. So, I will have to buy the book...she just got really excited by seeing the picture of the book on the computer. It is a very simple story and the illustrations are basic, but she loves it.

Our 20 month old daughter loves her Otto books. They are filled with cute illustrations and easy to follow stories, with good messages.

my daughter & i love all the todd parr books. the illustrations are always bright and engaging. and in the course of just a few words, he manages to convey important messages, without being preachy. it's all based on a very simple thought, "be nice". we could all learn a lot from his books.

Todd Parr really gets it right. We love his illustrations and straightforward text. I like this book even better than the "Do's and Don't's" books that we've come to know well. This one is cute enough that the kids get it and the adults can grin as well. Easy, sweet, silly, fun to look at. My four-year-old adores it -- an instant favorite. Our most-loved page is when Otto brushes his teeth with "chicken flavored toothpaste."
