RIDE OTTO RIDE • Atheneum • 2002

School Library Journal: Though young readers may not catch the ironic echoes of the Dick and Jane series in the text, they will find a lot to like in Otto's world, with it's clearly delineated characters, occasional pitfalls, and humorous edge. The energetic drawings and the muted palette are quirkier than those usually seen in books for young readers. An appealing option for children just beginning to read and feeling as hopeful and adventurous as Otto."
