About Ollie's School Day: A Yes-and-No Story
Product Description Would you like to read an Ollie story? YES! From the very first line to the final page, Ollie's School Day begs to be read aloud-- and together. What will Ollie wear to school? A bathing suit? NO! A space suit? NO! A police officer's uniform? NO! Will Ollie wear pants, a shirt, socks and shoes? YES! Call-and-response text in a simple pattern-- three increasingly outlandish NO! options followed by a resounding YES!-- model social skills and positive classroom behavior, pairing the subtle message with high-energy illustrations of Ollie's ridiculous rejected options. Readers will be quick to catch on and shout out the next answer-- if they can stop laughing, that is. Will kids love Ollie's School Day? YES! Review * "Will this be a popular and raucous first-day-of-school favorite? YES!"— Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "gently humorous . . . would-be model pupils will enjoy the call-and-response." —The New York Times Book Review "Carter's watercolors play with the text and add hilarity . . . This gentle tutorial in school behavior effectively employs call-and-response to engage listeners."— School Library Journal "Besides being fun, this book subtly but clearly introduces playground and classroom etiquette, making it a good choice for both home and the classroom."— Booklist About the Author Stephanie Calmenson, a former kindergarten teacher, has written many books for children, including Ollie's School Day.
