How to Read the Adventures of Otto Books

For parents

What Parents Should Know

These Pre-Level 1 Ready-to-Read books use large type, repeated words, picture clues, and very short sentences. They are especially approachable for preschoolers reading with an adult and children beginning to recognize words independently.

The stories include small mishaps, weather, and gentle misunderstandings, but no frightening or mature material. The humor and friendship stay warm and reassuring.
