Book Description:

When Otto the cat meets a magical genie, he knows just what to wish for: to make the whole world orange! At first, this new, bright world seems like a lot of fun, but when his mom serves orange spinach for lunch, Otto realizes that his favorite color isn-???+-?-+t the best color for everything. Fixing this mixed-up world won-???+-?-+t be easy though, because Otto already used up his only wish. To save the day, Otto will need his family-???+-?-+s help, some quick thinking, and . . . a pizza? Two master cartoonists collaborate to bring all the fun and magic comics can offer to early readers.
