Oliver's Lollipop - Hardcover
by Allison Wortche (Author), Andrés Landazabal (Illustrator)
When his sugary dreams don't go according to plan, Oliver learns that the wide world around him might just be the sweetest thing of all.
Oliver finds the perfect lollipop on his birthday trip to the zoo, and it's all he can think about! Forget riding the carousel--he might drop his precious treat. No point roaring at the lions with his brother or engaging with any of the animals. After all, who needs the peacocks' beautiful feathers or the flamingoes' brilliant hues when there's a colorful swirly lollipop to admire? But when one particular zoo animal threatens to ruin the fun, Oliver learns that there's plenty more to see than the candy he'd been coveting. And sharing the day--and his sweets--with his brother might just be the most special treat of all. Praise for Oliver's Lollipop "Vivid, bright paintings illuminate the well-told narrative centering a child's singular fixation, disappointment, and family warmth." --Kirkus Reviews "A gentle, well-paced reminder to live in the moment." --Publishers WeeklyAuthor Biography
