Swing Otto Swing! (Ready-To-Read - Level Pre1 (Hardback))

From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 1–Otto just cannot seem to learn to swing from a vine like his monkey friends. Although they provide him with many tips about holding on, the little robot just can't get the knack of it. After several mishaps, he ends up on the jungle floor. As he stares into the sky, bruised and battered, he devises a plan: he builds himself a swing set with a seat. The cartoon illustrations depict the action and provide visual clues. This book is reminiscent of the "Dick and Jane" series. Instead of seeing Spot run, readers "See Otto swing." The simple text is printed in various places on each spread, making it difficult for beginning readers to track the words, and the story is not interesting enough to work as a read-aloud.
