review:
'Otto and Pio' with words and illustrations by Marianne Dubuc is a picture book about getting out of your comfort zone and making new friends, even if they are a bit strange.

Otto the squirrel likes his life. When he finds an odd creature on his doorstep, he initially wants nothing to do with it. When the creatures mother fails to appear, Otto takes in the creature (who only seems to say "Pio"). Pio grows and grows and eats all the hazelnuts, but he also makes soup and cleans. Otto keeps desperately trying to find Pio's mother, then one day, Otto realizes it might be nice to have a large friend like Pio around.

I loved this story of a squirrel set in his way and the ways a new friend stretched that out. The illustrations in this book were very nice.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Princeton Architectural Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
