Otto The Ornament
A Christmas Book for Kids
A punny holiday tale about a snazzy and pizzazz-y Christmas ornament who tries to find the tree that's right for him—from the author of the New York Times bestselling Can I Be Your Dog? series.

Doesn't he deserve to shine at the top? Will Otto be able to find the tree he dreams of and learn about kindness and chosen family along the way? Full of Troy Cummings's clever puns, wordplay, and humor, wrapped up with a heartfelt message.
