Otto revisited

[mondhasen]

I wrote a short entry about Otto the Book Bear a few years ago but I cannot locate it now. Regardless, I finally decided to buy a copy of this sweet book for myself, for a penny, plus the usual $3.99 s/h. The book was listed in 'good' condition and the description said the binding was tight and there were no marks on the pages.



The book is in excellent condition and has only one tiny tear in the dust jacket down near the base of the spine! I brought it into work and gave it a mylar cover-



Shiny!


Bunnies on the end sheets :o)


I love Cleminson's illustrations and the story is just a nice little read. Otto is the subject of a new book just released last month and I hope we get one for our Childrens Room at work.

Otto and Ernest are a great couple of friends :o)

I am, of course, delighted to find this was not a bun-free entry. ^_^

No relation to the Ernest of Celestine's acquaintance, I take it? (Ah, that reminds me! I should check what versions of that are available to me, especially with any extras. It's so frustrating, having to be diligent on such matters - you'd think filmmakers would want to make their works, and their insights, as widely available as possible. Yet, so often, it remains a matter of arbitrarily geographical boundaries, and a matter of luck - Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree has iTunes Extras in the US, but it's the film only in the UK, to cite but one example)

And yep, no matches for Katie Cleminson or Otto the Book Bear on the iBooks Store. Arg! Why do books even fall out of print, when they can be electronically available so easily?

Ah well. In the meantime, I'll content myself with your samples, and they are indeed utterly charming. ^_^

There is a Kindle edition available to you if you use the Amazon app. When I ran the title through our Amazon Kindle store the results were far from expected!

Speaking of rabbits we have had one out back and just outside the dog fence for the last few days.She's a big, beautiful dark brown/grey mix and very tolerant of both the Huntress and me.

Oh, cool beans! That's very tempting. =:D And finally, a decent reduction for a digital edition! ^_^ (Did you notice the hardcover new price? O.o;)

Yay! See what photos you can get, do. ^_^ It's been a terribly bunless time for me here lately, sad to say - they're sort of still around, but only here and there, now and then; nowhere near the numbers I've seen earlier on in the year. Still, they do seem to become scarce around this time of year, sometimes returning to a modest degree in February or so, sometimes not until April or May. Migration, must be. *nods*

The hardcover price is frightening! My used copy is at least a hardcover: I only buy paperback out of necessity.

I'll take the camera along on tomorrow afternoon's walkie. I was thrilled to see her hanging around this week. I also saw deer when driving in to work this morning :o)

And hey, here's the entire book read by someone on YouTube!



I should have included this originally, but forgot people post these videos.
