Synopsis

Are you nearly asleep?

Two stories in one book. The cover you hold names the boy you lie beside: read Goodnight, Otto forward and it is Bob's night; turn it over - the back cover is Goodnight, Bob - and read it back to the front for Otto's.

Two boys in a tent, one seam between them, and a silence each of them reads as an answer. Bob thinks Otto's quiet means no. Otto stayed quiet because he wanted to hear Bob fall asleep. In the exact middle of the book, on both pages at once, they say the same thing: Sorry I didn't ask.

The quietest book in the series, a bedtime read-aloud for ages 4 to 8. What went wrong is never named - with children it often isn't. One question to ask at the end - why did Otto go quiet?

Opens and closes on the same line: Are you nearly asleep?

Book 4 of Bob & Otto, by Jesper K. Lassen. From VEN Method - social-emotional learning that builds connection and community in classrooms and at home.

About the Author

Jesper K. Lassen has been on a stage since he was seven years old. He is a mentalist - more than a thousand performances, and his own documentary series on Danish national television. He is the founder of VEN Method, a social-emotional learning company built on one idea: connection is something children can be taught, and most of us were left to pick it up by luck. VEN Method builds connection and community in classrooms and at home - a whole group around one shared thing, in place of individual screen time. He wrote the Bob and Otto books so the youngest readers could practice the same thing on paper, with a grown-up: hear one side, turn the book over, hear the other, and ask. Jesper K. Lassen is Danish. VEN Method is based in Texas.
