Publisher's Note
Poor Otto. All he wants to do is fit in with the rest of the elephants in the school yard, but all the herd wants to do is make fun of his trunk. And try as he may, Otto can't find any way to improve his appearance. It seems as though he'll be picked on forever. That is, until one Friday morning, when everything changes. . . . This inspired picture book from acclaimed author and artist Sandy Turner brings a distinctive wit and charm to a classic concept. otto's trunk is a story for everyone who feels like they don't fit in,and about finding the sometimes hidden qualities that make each of us -- even the elephants -- unique and special.
Industry Reviews "While the theme of learning to appreciate one's individuality is well worn in picture books, Sandy Turner gives it fresh impetus here with his spry, sly colored pencil drawings." New York Times Book Review - Heather Vogel Frederick (11/16/2003)
