OTIS is my very favorite picture of 2009!

Franki, You know, I read it and fell in love with it when I got sent an advance copy months and months ago, so I've been pleased to see that other people are finally seeing it and loving it, too. Sometimes it is just me. :)

Well, now I've got to get a library copy again and look for how he focuses on red throughout. I liked it but obviously read it way too quickly.

I read it yet again this morning. I'm worse than a two-year-old with wanting to read picture books repeatedly.

i fear i am the only person who does not like this book. there is just something about the illustration of Otis the puts me off. i like the story but Otis just creeps me out.

Well, Creepy Otis could be a good book, too. ;)

I bought Otis for the girls for Christmas...it was getting such great reviews, so I picked it up in the store and saw how great it was. Go, me. :)
