Olly is in a bad mood, but Otto does not know. He says a big, loud "Hi!" Otto finds out real quick Olly's mood. They run into Flip and Flop sending the painting supplies and canvas flying through the air. Now Flip and Flop are in a bad mood. But look out! A storm!

A cute reader with large bright pictures and minimal words. Early readers will delight in this Pre-Level One Rising Star Reader. This is shared reading with familiar characters and simple words.

Cute little story for very beginner readers. It's funny and doesn't have a heavy "message," just a silly story for kids to laugh at. I could see this being a hit with little boys in particular.

Otto accidentally annoys Olly who is already in a bad mood. They barge through Flip and Flop's afternoon putting them in a bad mood too! Bad moods are contagious! But so are good moods. When a storm forms over them, Olly rushes to rescue his friends and the experience jolts them back out of their funk.

A misunderstanding, a grumpy rhino, and an epic chase come to a head when a storm rolls in.

Milgrim is able to do something with little leveled readers that few others can do. Create an entertaining and engaging plot in just a few pages. This is by turns humorous and touching. And the text is very simple, approachable to very early readers. Highly recommended.

Sometimes managing a bad mood can be difficult, and when one unfortunate misunderstanding snowballs, soon everyone is angry. Otto, a friendly little robot, doesn't realize that Olly is in a bad mood. When he startles her and makes her angry, soon the chase is on. But when a storm comes unexpectedly, Olly and Otto and their friends realize that it's time to put away the negativity and help each other out. With easy-to-read text for beginning readers and awesome illustrations, this book might be a good way to talk about how to help our friends when they're in bad moods.

Moooooooooooooooooooooo. Chick-a-licka-licka. To the story! I like that Olly got in a better mood at the end of the book and that he forgave Otto. And I like that everybody got calm again and stopped being in a bad mood. That is all. Goodbye! Moooo.

This is a book with cute art and a story but definitely not a message.

[Angela De Groot · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love the humor and the art. The text reminds me a little of the Dick and Jane readers from years ago but the story and art make the Otto stories a delightful way to develop reading skills.

January 2020 - this whole series is great for very early readers.

It was kind of short. It was fine.

Not my jam, but good for pre-readers. Bold fonts, limited vocabulary. Energetic illustrations.

[Beau Manglass · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gotta rep my Otto and give these 5 stars!

[Sarah T. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice, simple book about feelings. I would love to read this to pre-schoolers to see if they would make the connection to the storm coming and going to Olly's emotions.

Read it while walking from one side of the library to the other...quickest of quick reads.
