K-3Ready-to-Read series.
This easy reader of the very simplest order nevertheless contains humor, suspense, and a satisfying narrative arc. In the latest entry in the adventures of Otto, the endearing space robot's monkey friends try to teach him to swing on a vine--with multiple-bandage-requiring results. Spacious pictures invest the innocuous text with irony, slapstick, even a bit of mystery.
