I love to dance

School Library Journal Review

PreS-K-Ollie, an adorable zebra with soft gray stripes, returns in these titles. He loves to dance loudly as well as quietly, and to shake his "wobbly belly." He loves to sing anywhere: on the stairs, in the bathtub with a cup of tea, in the lemon tree. On vacation, Ollie eats ice cream, loves "sandy sandwiches," listens to owls hooting, and goes sailing. And whatever he does, his best buddy, Fred, a dog wearing a red collar, is along for the fun. With plenty of repetition and sight words, Walker makes good use of rhyme. The colored-ink illustrations are set against ample white space and give the book an airy feel. The story lines are simple enough for toddlers to understand, and the books will also appeal to budding readers.-Kris Hickey, Columbus Metropolitan Library, OH (c) Copyright 2011.
