Ollie

Written and illustrated by Olivier Dunrea

2003 Houghton Mifflin  

Little brothers and sisters can make older siblings so frustrated. And little Ollie isn’t even born yet! Gossie and Gertie just want Ollie to come out. Stubborn Ollie is just one tough egg to crack as he rolls around until his sisters stop paying attention to him.

Dunrea has introduced a new character into the Gossie collection, a brother. Ollie is a humorous tale about sibling rivalry that will entertain the very young and put a smile on the face of adults too. Bright and bold watercolor illustrations are accompanied by easy to read printing and phrasing. This is a wonderful addition to any preschooler’s library.
