librarianryan 's review for:

Otto and Pio by Marianne Dubuc
2.0

A small furry creature in a green pod is left at the door of a squirrel named Otto. This creature is named Pio and every night he doubles in size. Can Otto and Pio find a happily ever after? This story isn’t bad but I really don’t like how Otto seems to be more concerned about his broken things, or the inconveniences in his life. Yes he actively looks for Pio’s parents, but he doesn’t seem to appreciate what Pio does until there is a near disaster. It may be close to life, but I think the message is too much of a downer for me to use in any activity.
