Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 8, 2013
Michael Yu uses this short children' book, "Otto the Grouchy Owl," in order to teach young children about helping others. Otto is always cranky, and he is not happy when his mother asks him to take some soup to his aunt. Along the way, he tries unsuccessfully to find someone to commiserate with, but eventually he discovers the good feeling that lending a helping hand can bring. The illustrations are quite realistic and colorful, although Otto is depicted in a rather disconcerting and humanlike manner with human arms and fingers.
