About this ebook
Will Eisner Nominee
"There’s a message about the importance of friends and family underlying the story, but Cammuso’s action-packed cartooning keeps the emphasis on fun."—Publishers Weekly
"A snappy follow-up to Otto’s Orange Day, gift-wrapped around a worthy theme and frosted with tasty wordplay."—Kirkus Reviews
When Otto and his robot sidekick, Toot, follow the crook, they discover a topsy-turvy world where rats chase cats and people wear underpants over their clothes. To get his presents back, Otto needs to solve a slew of backwards puzzles — but his greatest challenge comes at the journey’s very end. On this special day, will Otto discover something even better than cake or gifts?
