Otis P. Oliver Protests

Otis absolutely hates taking baths! What is a kid to do when your parents want you to take baths four times a week. Otis loves to play with mud and often gets grubby, so his parents insist that he take baths more often because they think he stinks. So Otis has an idea! He gets all his friends and they protest and refuse to take baths. Otis’s mother sends out notes to Otis asking him what the is protest is about. Otis writes back saying he doesn’t want to take baths anymore. Will Otis win the bath battle?

I think this story is funny and silly. Each time his mother writes a note, she keeps mentioning dinner and dessert. I think it’s funny how Otis and his mom writes notes back and forth trying to solve their problem. I like how they reached a compromise together. I recommend this book to kids who hate taking baths and to kids who know what it feels like when your parents tell you you have to do something even when you don’t want to.
