Cute story. Similar to the Midas' touch tale. Otto finds a genie and Otto gets his a wish - that everything were orange. He later learns to watch out what he wishes for. Another good one for young or reluctant readers. Bright colors, lots of action and exclamation. Even though I don't always love the Toon Books, I do think the quality of production is up there. They are usually pretty visually dynamic and engaging. Perfect for the audience they want to reach. Text-SelfThis story reminds me of my little story when she really wanted a toy and then after awhile re gets bored with it and doesn't want it anymore and wants another one or something different. Reminds me of when people always wanting and asking for things then after awhile they don't care about it and wish they could take it back. I can relate to the genie cause I always feel like I am always giving things to other people and no one ever asks what I want and thats exactly what the genie said. Story just reminds me that we need to be happy for the things that we have been given and when asking for something be very careful and be thankful if that wish was handed to you.Text-textThis story reminds me a little of Aladdin just for the fact it had a genie in and and also the book Careful What You Wish For. This book is similar to others i've read because in the book Careful What You Wish For your only granted three wishes. Ravine has to be very careful of her last wish that she makes and making sure it is said exactly how she wants it to be. It is different from other books because this book is directed more for kids and directly to the point. Where as in other books in some parts it leads you wondering and it Otto's Orange day you could tell exactly what was coming next.Text-World.This reminds me of the real world that people shouldn't take what they have and what has been given to them for granted and just be happy for what you are blessed with. The events are similar to things in the real world because in the real world people believe in magic so people shake the magic 8 ball and hope they get the answers they are looking for. It is different because there isn't really a genie out there who can give you what you want even though we all wish that was the case sometimes.
Love Toon Readers! The genie of the lamp will grant Otto one wish - choose wisely!

The illustrations and Otto's personality bumped this up star-wise for me.

Cute, quick read. Otto learns what it's like when everything is the same.
