![]() ![]() (“Oops, there goes Pip.”) Otto flies a plane up to rescue Pip (“Hurry, Otto, Hurry”), but they crash (and splash) in front of some hippos with another big balloon, and the story ends as it begins, with a droll “See Pip point.” Milgrim again succeeds in the difficult challenge of creating a real, funny story with just a few simple words. ![]() (Pip seems to be in that I-point-and-I-want-it phase common with one-year-olds.) The big purple balloon is large enough to carry Pip up and away over the clouds, until Pip runs into Zee the bee. The simple plot involves a large balloon that Otto kindly shares with Pip after the mouse has a rather funny pointing attack. In his third beginning reader about Otto the robot, Milgrim ( See Otto, 2002, etc.) introduces another new friend for Otto, a little mouse named Pip. ![]()
