Otto is an ornament. He's glittery, he's colorful, he's full of Christmas pizzazz! Otto wants to be at the top of the tree, not in the middle with all of the regular ornaments! Doesn't he deserve to shine at the top? Will Otto be able to find the tree he dreams of and learn about kindness and chosen family along the way? Full of Troy Cummings's clever puns, wordplay, and humor, wrapped up with a heartfelt message.

An original, comical, and festive tale from a New York Times bestselling author-illustrator that should be placed under every Christmas tree! Perfect for families, teachers, and librarians.

Editorial Reviews

Review

★ "A wonderful holiday story that highlights the importance of belonging rather than bravado." —School Library Journal, starred review

"This is a well-paced, appealing tale that will make for a great preschool read-aloud....An Otto-rly successful modern Christmas story." —Kirkus Reviews

"Running throughout the playful prose is Cummings’s thorough accounting of seasonal exclamations, while the digital art’s stylized, retro aesthetic provides both zingy and gentle notes." —Publishers Weekly

This book is so good! Funny, clever, great story, great dialogue, and beautiful & colorful pictures! Love the sparkly cover too. Highly recommend for older picture book readers. Just a heads up…Otto is a bit sassy, so get this one for your sweet kid to giggle over, not your smart aleck kid who’s going to repeat the faux swears. 😄

I’m called Otto so my wife got me a book and friends of ours son the book. I just wish it came with an actual ornament named Otto. She had to get one close to it and put name on it. Loved it

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Playful Puns!
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023
Overflowing with playful puns, this entertaining Christmas story is ornamentally fun! Shiny and bright, Otto believes he belongs on the top of a Christmas tree instead of in the middle with the other ornaments, so he begins his quest for a new home. The expressive illustrations follow him on his amusing journey of self-discovery ending with him glowing with happiness once he reflects on others’ lustrous qualities.

Every year I order a few new Christmas books for my class and for my own children. This one was really disappointing. Not much of a storyline and it is not well written. Pass on this.
