Otto the Book Bear Has Won Jackie the Book Lady's Heart


Otto lives in a book and is happiest when his story is being read. Otto is no ordinary storybook character: when no one is looking, he comes to life! Otto loves to walk off of his book’s pages, but when his book is taken away while Otto is off exploring, the book bear sets off on a grand adventure to find a new home.

Except...it's an awfully big world for such a small bear and Otto misses his warm book. Will Otto ever find the perfect home?

With sweet, timeless illustrations and a story that will have young readers watching their bookshelves in hopes of spotting wandering book creatures, this charming story is sure to delight book lovers everywhere.  


Jackie says:
"I am so happy this book is finally coming to America because it is completely enchanting.  It is the tale of a storybook bear who is his happiest when children are reading his book, but sometimes, when no one is around to read, Otto comes to life and goes on adventures.  Alas, during one of his trips, his book was given away.  Not liking being alone, he sets out to find company and a new home.  This is such a magical story about the secret lives of books!"
