David Milgrim uses multiple combinations of 19 words, plus 4 sound effects over 30 pages of illustrations to tell an adventurous story of Otto, the robot, who wants to visit his robot family on another planet. Otto builds a rocket pack to fly home, but on his test flight something goes wrong. It flies right, left, up, and down before crashing. Otto’s monkey and elephant friends are happy to see Otto safely back with them. The end, for now.

Young emergent readers will feel a great sense of accomplishment being able to read an entire story/book by themselves.
