What is Otto Goes North about?
Otto has cycled a very long way from his hot home to visit Lisa and Nils in the far north. He dreams of painting the northern lights, but the freezing weather makes him shiver too much to hold his brush. Luckily, his friends have a clever idea: they will knit him a warm jumper. Together, the animals gather fur, spin and dye wool, choose a pattern and begin knitting. Can they finish Otto’s jumper before the magical lights appear?
