Otto The Top Dog

The best book ever for youn g and old

Perfect reading for my 4 year old who loves dogs, lovely simple story and particularly love the dog illustrations throughout the book - very cute!!

I love Catherine Rayner's book. This is a beautiful as all the others I've been lucky enough to read.Otto is a dachshund. He loves lots of things but most of all he loves snoozing in his comfy basket. When he plays with Lupin in the park one day she follows him home, Lupin stays, she thinks Otto's basket is lovely too. They snuggle together. But when they meet Sox and Flora the next day and Lupin invites them to try Otto's bed...Otto doesn't get much sleep. Then they meet Parker but he's never had a bed of his own...Otto invites him too and so it continues...Otto has to think of something, his friends seem comfy but he isn't. But is his solution everything it should be?I love this and I think I might have to buy it for myself! It is everything a picture book should be. Beautiful story and superb illustrations. That last page made me giggle

Otto is adorable, he’s a very kind and caring pup, he wants to make his friends happy and in return it makes him happy. Then when he wants his basket back he gets one for all his friends only he gets even sadder, but his friends are there to help.A very sweet story on kindness, giving, sharing and helping. I loved seeing the variety of dogs used within this, the illustrations of them all were so cute. Otto was the cutest with his routine, with his love of his basket that he is sweet enough to keep sharing and offering to his friends.Dog loving children in particular are just going to love this book, seeing so many of them in this book. It was funny in places too, when you see the doggie piles. It’s very sweet and a lovely story, children will really enjoy reading and looking at it.
