"Two veteran cartoonists collaborate to create a comic-strip-style book for beginning readers....Offer this to book readers with a bit of experience under their belts and an interest in comics and cartoons."
--School Library Journal
"Otto’s Orange Day is an absolute delight to read."
--Read About Comics
"This book is sure to engage a new generation in the art form; kids will want to read it once, then return to it again and again."
--Booklist
"Low on violence and high on production values, this comics-format TOON Book will leave emergent readers wishing for more."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Otto’s Orange Day is for every kid who is set in their ways and could use a nudge toward a broadening of horizons. Buy two copies – it’s a page-turner that beginning readers will likely wear out from dangerously high levels of enjoyment."
--School Library Journal
"There’s a glorious sense of excitement and sheer fun to each simply crafted, expertly realised page."
--Forbidden Planet International
