Bink and Gollie
4 total works
Meet Bink and Gollie: two precocious little girls - one tiny, one tall, and both irrepressibly funny. Setting out from their shared super-deluxe tree house and powered by plenty of peanut butter (for Bink) and pancakes (for Gollie), they share three comical adventures involving outrageously bright socks, an impromptu trek to the Andes, and a most unlikely marvellous companion. No matter where their roller-skates take them, at the end of the day they will always be the very best of friends.
If you’re looking for two marvellous companions, who will make you hug the page with delight, look no further than Bink and Gollie!
The state fair is in town, and for Bink and Gollie – utter opposites and über best friends – three comical adventures await! Bink attacks the Whack-a-Duck with an unswerving winning attitude – the world’s largest doughnut is up for grabs! And, with a quiet determination, Gollie storms the stage at the talent show... BUT a lousy shot and a case of stage fright spoil each girl's chances! Undeterred, they use their grey matter and turn it all around! In the final story, Bink and Gollie make a date with destiny: Madame Prunely, fortune teller spectacular! She looks into her crystal ball and tells them everything they could ever need to know ... they'll always be together. Without question.
All righty then! Celebrate the tall and short of a marvellous friendship with a new Bink and Gollie adventure exuding the quirky wit and charm of a multi-award-winning team.
Gollie is quite sure she has royal blood in her veins, but can Bink survive her friend's queenly airs - specially if pancakes are not part of the deal? Bink wonders what it would be like to be as tall as her friend, but how far will she stretch her luck to find out? And when Bink and Gollie long to get their picture into a book of record-holders, where will they find the kudos they seek? Find slapstick and sweetness, drollery and delight in a new follow-up to the award-winning Bink and Gollie, written by beloved and best-selling authors Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee and brought to hilarious life by New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book award-winner Tony Fucile.
