Description
Book SynopsisGossie wears red boots, Gertie wears blue boots, but Ollie has no boots. Stomping bootless after Gossie and Gertie as they tromp in the straw, romp in the rain, and jump over puddles in their colorful boots leaves Ollie frustrated. Little Ollie decides he really wants his own pair of boots.
Trade Review“With their simple watercolors and narrative, along with diminutive heroes who assert a budding independence, these tales demonstrate once again how well their creator knows his audience.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Dunrea successfully adds to the ‘Gossie and Gertie’ cast with these endearing tales.” — School Library Journal (starred review) “Dunrea’s keen awareness of young children’s concerns and quirks translates into charmingly simple illustrations and text.” — Kirkus Reviews "Pre-schoolers will relate to Ollie's point of view and delight in his humorous reactions to the new world he's discovering." Booklist, ALA — Booklist "Dunrea's text...is packed with toddler-sized drama, and Gossie and Gertie easily assume the roles of older sisters dealing with a pesky but beloved younger brother." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
