Winner of the 2011 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award!
In a brilliant collaboration, bes
t-selling authors Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee, along with acclaimed illustr
ator Tony Fucile, introduce an outrageously funny pair of friends.
Meet Bink
and Gollie, two precocious little girls - one tiny, one tall, and both utterly i
rrepressible. Setting out from their super-deluxe tree house and powered by plen
ty of peanut butter (for Bink) and pancakes (for Gollie), they share three comic
al adventures involving painfully bright socks, an impromptu trek to the Andes,
and a most unlikely marvelous companion. No matter where their roller skates tak
e them, at the end of the day they will always be the very best of friends. Full
of quick-witted repartee, this brainchild of Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo an
d award-winning author Alison McGhee is a hilarious ode to exuberance and camara
derie, imagination and adventure, brought to life through the delightfully kinet
ic images of Tony Fucile.
