Otto, the Dog That Learns to Share

Otto’s snug basket becomes a shared gathering place when Lupin and the rest of his friends come to stay. Their crowded sleeping arrangement prompts Otto to find beds for everyone, but the story’s resolution turns on what makes the whole group comfortable together. The domestic setup gives its sharing theme a concrete shape: making room for friends can mean reconsidering what comfort looks like for everyone, including oneself.

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy stories about dogs and animal friends

Book overview

Otto loves bone-shaped treats, sniffing, chasing a ball and walks in the parks. But more than anything, Otto loves lazing in his comfy basket. But Otto's private, comfy time is upset when his friend, Lupin, comes to stay and shares his basket . . . not so comfy now!

And before he can say 'walkies' his other friends all come and stay because Lupin has told them all how comfy Otto's basket is. Soon they are all nestled in-- with a beautiful Boxer dog taking center stage, of course. Even Bently, the Great Dane snuggles down! Otto is none too pleased and a tad grumpy at his lack of sleep. So, he devises a plan. The next day, Otto goes shopping and buys beds to suit all his friends. But when Otto settles back into his own bed, all by himself, he cannot sleep, neither can his friends. The solution is easy, all get back into one big comfy heap and doze! And Otto can sleep on TOP!

From award winning author/illustrator Catherine Rayner, Otto is a celebration of friendship, teaching children empathy and encouraging them to think of others.
