Babies/Toddler—Otto is an adorable little rhino, who is showered with loving attention, until he learns a new word—No!—and nearly wears it out. The familiar toddler phase of knee-jerk negativity is playfully portrayed even when Otto's stubborn refusals have unwanted consequences at school and at home. After one tantrum too many, he realizes his behavior has led to his having a rotten time. With a hug and some support from his dad, Otto learns the power of Yes! The cute cartoon art and bright colors will be a hit with kids just learning to express themselves verbally.
