Ollie the Stomper (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780063343733)

Ollie longs to stomp in his very own pair of boots just like Gossie and Gertie do! A My First I Can Read about the joys and frustrations of sharing, from the world of Olivier Dunrea's beloved Gossie & Friends.

Gossie 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 . . . but what will he do if he gets them?

Any child who has had to keep up with an older sibling, cousin, or friend will relate to Ollie as he finds his own way in the barnyard.
