Otto Grows Down

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Magoon. Otto's baby sister, Anna, is always the center of attention--even at his birthday party. So as he blows out the six candles on his cake, Otto wishes she was never born. Suddenly, time starts moving backward: Anna is returned to the hospital (hooray!), but Otto himself gets younger and younger (uh-oh!). Amusing illustrations tinged with murky undertones convey Otto's mix of emotions.
