Otto the Book Bear by Katie Cleminson
3.0
Otto is a bear who lives in a book in a house and has a secret. He can come to life and leave his book when no one is looking. Otto loves to leave his book and explore the house but one day, when Otto is outside of his book, he gets left behind when his people move out of their house. Otto makes a plan, grabs his bag, and sets off to find his book. The outside world is cold, big, and scary and Otto is sad until he sees a bright building. He goes inside and finds hundreds of warm books. Otto even finds another book bear named Ernest there. Ernest shows Otto all the magical creatures from these books that come alive when the library closes. Otto has found a new home and is happiest of all because so many more children read his book now.
This book’s audience is perfect for a child just starting kindergarten because the story is easy to read and it appeals to younger children. It appeals to this age group because the magical nature of a book’s characters coming alive is perfect for a young imagination. I would implement this book into my display because it shows that magic happens within books and encourages the notion that when no one’s looking, that books come alive.
