<b>The bestselling Otis the tractor series created by Loren Long, the illustrator of Matt de la Pena's <i>Love</i> and Watty Piper's classic <i>The Little Engine that Could</i> </b> <p/> Otis and his farm friends love to play hide-and-seek. Otis especially loves to be It, finding his friends as they hide. Yet when the newest addition to the farm--a bounding puppy who can't sit still and has a habit of licking faces--tries to hide, he finds his attention wandering and is soon lost in the forest. Night falls and Otis, knowing his new friend is afraid of the dark, sets out to find him. There's just one problem: Otis is <i>also</i> afraid of the dark. His friend is alone and in need, though, so Otis takes a deep breath, counts to ten, and sets off on a different game of hide-and-seek. <p/> From the critically-acclaimed illustrator of <i>The Little Engine that Could</i>, <i>Of Thee I Sing</i>, and <i>Otis</i>.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Loren Long<br><b>Publisher:</b> Philomel Books<br><b>Published:</b> 03/12/2013<br><b>Pages:</b> 40<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.40lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 10.60h x 11.10w x 0.50d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780399254697<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.2<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>157475 / Otis and the Puppy<br><br><b>Award:</b> Midwest Booksellers' Choice Award - Winner<br><b>Award:</b> Arkansas Diamond Primary Book Award - No
