About the Book
Someone stole Otto’s birthday! When Otto and his robot sidekick, Toot, follow the crook, they discover a topsy-turvy world where rats chase cats and people wear underpants over their clothes. To get his presents back, Otto needs to solve a slew of backwards puzzles — but his greatest challenge comes at the journey’s very end. On this special day, will Otto discover something even better than cake or gifts?

My Take on the Book
This was a cute graphic novel for younger readers. With great illustrations and a light and fun story, kids ages 6-9 will love this. My daughter picked it up and within a very short time she finished it and then read it again, which is something I always love to see. The graphic novel is also action-packed, and it will leave you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will come next. Through the use of palindromes young readers will gain a better appreciation for language, but beyond that the author also shares a number of other important educational messages too, so the book is definitely not just a picture book - far from it!
