review 1: A sweet little book about what it means to have a stuffed best friend and dealing with losing that friend in the process of play. As a child who did have (and on occasion sit down and forget) a stuffed best friend, I really appreciate the sweet simplicity of this story. My two year old nephew loves this story (and frankly all the duck books by Olivier Dunrea, although his favorite is actually Peedey and his red baseball cap).I think the best part is the way that the story treats Otto as though he is equally alive (and a VERY good listener!), which is certainly how we as children see our sweet friends. Makes me think of my favorite, The Velveteen Rabbit, which is all about how animals are loved to life.
review 2: Absolutely adorable story about a russet colored ... moregoose named Gideon and his stuffed octopus, Otto. One day Gideon goes off to play with some bunnies and leaves Otto on a stump. When Mama Goose calls for Gideon to come home, he goes to find Otto, but he is not there. He looks everywhere for him and eventually find him on the back of a turtle. Gideon and Otto are together again. I picked this one up for my son's summer reading and he loved it. Recommended for ages 1-4, 3 stars. less
