PreS-Gr 1—Otto, a young rhinoceros, and his family are getting ready for Christmas. But nothing is "Christmassy enough" for Otto. In his effort to fix things, he wreaks havoc. Otto over decorates the cookies, knocks over the tree, and accidentally mixes up all the gift tags on the presents. Despite all the missteps, the family sets everything right, and they have the most "Christmassy Christmas ever!" While the story line is familiar, the illustrations are done in warm colors, so the emotions of the characters leap off the page. Readers will think the rhinoceros family is adorable and relate to Otto's enthusiasm.
VERDICT A great addition to any holiday collection.
