Recommend to reluctant readers or children who enjoy graphic novel-like books submitted by klickitat on August 6, 2012, 8:01am This hybrid chapter/picture book tells three short stories about two friends named Bink & Gollie, who, despite being polar opposites, manage to have quite a bit of fun together. Children in the third or fourth grade will be able to read the book on their own but some complex vocabulary make it a better read aloud for younger children, despite its outer resemblance to an easy reader. Pixar veteran Fucile's illustrations are reminiscent of his animated work. Fittingly, the storylines read like three Pixar shorts spliced together and translated into a book. For this reason, Pixar fans are likely to enjoy the book. Kudos to McGhee and DiCamillo for managing to write adorable stories that are never saccharine or grating. This is a good book to have in your back pocket to recommend to reluctant readers or children who enjoy graphic novel-like books.
