Otto: The Autobiography of a Teddy Bear

32 pp. | Phaidon | October, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7148-5766-4 $16.95
(2) K-3 Teddy bear Otto goes from being plaything of a Jewish boy, David, and his non-Jewish friend, Oskar, in 1930s Germany, to mascot of a wounded black GI; he's later reunited with elderly David and Oskar in the United States. The affecting story could serve as an introduction to the Holocaust for not-too-young children.
