Great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I love this whole series for it's simplicity and fun. I bought 5 from the series for my two daughters, 9 months and 3 years. Ollie is probably favored the most by my daughter. It's the best kind of bedtime story, short with fun pictures and a text that my child can easily memorize.
Makes my son laugh and smile
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
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.
Not just for babies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
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.
Ollie is an egg!

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.
