Ollie (Bccb Blue Ribbon Picture Book Awards (Awards))

Rating:
Summary: Not just for babies
Review: Although this book is geared for babies and toddlers, both my 3 and 5 year old daughters absolutely love it - as well as the sequel "Ollie is Stomping." The story is so simple and cute but with the few words and wonderful illustrations, Ollie emerges as a strong and unique personality, and Gossie and Gertie as his sweet sisters. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Ollie is an egg!
Review: My 2 1/2 year old daughter adores Ollie even as an egg. The tale is told simply and the illustrations speak volumes. All in all a beautiful book for children and parents.

Summary: Makes my son laugh and smile
Review: My son is almost 2, he loves this book, he brings it to me to read to him quite often.

All I have to do is to say "I won't come out" like Ollie does... and his mood picks right up. Many times tht prompts him to run and find the book to bring it to me to read to him once again...

A cute simple story about a stubborn little gosling and his two sisters trying to coax him out of his egg.

Summary: sweet simple story
Review: Ollie is a little gossling who enjoye being inside his egg. His two friends Gossie and Gertie try everything to try and get him to hatch out. They want to play with him. Ollie is stubborn. He just rolls himself around in his egg. Gossie and Gertie finally give up. Ollie decides shortly there after to come out and play!


The book is small in size making it easy for toddlers to hold and turn the pages. Each page has only one sentence making this easy to read to little ones who have short attention spans. The pictures of various animals will be enjoyed by children of all ages.

I would recommed this book to parents and caregivers of children ages birth to 3. The story is very simple and is one that kids will enjoy hearing over and over again.
