Description

Book Synopsis

Would you like to read an Ollie story? YES!

From the very first line to the final page, Ollie's School Day begs to be read aloud-- and together.

What will Ollie wear to school? A bathing suit? NO! A space suit? NO! A police officer's uniform? NO! Will Ollie wear pants, a shirt, socks and shoes? YES!

Call-and-response text in a simple pattern-- three increasingly outlandish NO! options followed by a resounding YES!-- model social skills and positive classroom behavior, pairing the subtle message with high-energy illustrations of Ollie's ridiculous rejected options. Readers will be quick to catch on and shout out the next answer-- if they can stop laughing, that is.

Will kids love Ollie's School Day? YES!
