Kate DiCamillo never disappoints! This will be a great book to add to my list of books to introduce my students to for our friendship unit.
Bink and Gollie are friends. They are clever. They use great vocabulary.
I don't always list illustrators in my blog posts, but the illustrations are so integral to the story, and so simply amazing and hilarious, Alison McGhee must be mentioned! The illustrations are hilarious and add perfectly to the laughter of the book.
These two remind me very much of my own children. They're differently sizes (and ages?) but still have plenty of reckless fun together roller skating. Gollie, like me with my daughter, tries to tolerate Bink's love for the outrageous (it's socks in this book). They get into crazy messes which are creatively resolved. Yup. Sounds a lot like my house!
“I have brought you half of my pancakes," said Gollie.
"And I have removed one of my outrageous socks," said Bink. "It's a compromise bonanza!”
"And I have removed one of my outrageous socks," said Bink. "It's a compromise bonanza!”
Love love love this book! It is an easy read and also one I would enjoy reading to kids again and again.
