Cammuso, Frank and Jay Lynch. Otto’s Orange Day. New York: The Little Lit Library, 2008.

Otto loves orange! He believes the world would be boring without orange. When a genie appears from a lamp that his Aunt Sally Lee sends him, he wishes that EVERYTHING in the world was orange. A little bit of orange is great, but everything orange can be a problem, even for someone who loves orange.

This graphic novel is just fun. Otto thinks he is getting a good thing when he wishes that everything would be orange, but he soon finds out that when everything is one color, life can be pretty boring. It is a good thing that his Aunt Sally Lee can help him, but Otto is ultimately the one who saves the day.

What others have to say…

“The cartoons are lively and colorful. Clear chapter divisions, a clean graphic design, and large-size print make this title more appropriate for early readers than most comic-book offerings.”
