Bink & Gollie -- Kate DiCamillo

<b>"If James Marshall's George and Martha were not hippos and were both girls, they would be much like best friends Bink and Gollie. . . . More, please " -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)</b> <p/>Meet Bink and Gollie, two precocious little girls -- one tiny, one tall, and both utterly irrepressible. Setting out from their super-deluxe tree house and powered by plenty of peanut butter (for Bink) and pancakes (for Gollie), they share three comical adventures involving painfully bright socks, an impromptu trek to the Andes, and a most unlikely marvelous companion. Full of quick-witted repartee, this brainchild of Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo and award-winning author Alison McGhee is a hilarious ode to exuberance and camaraderie, imagination and adventure, brought to life through the delightfully kinetic images of Tony Fucile.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Kate DiCamillo, Alison McGhee<br><b>Publisher:</b> Candlewick Press (MA)<br><b>Published:</b> 04/10/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 88<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.48lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.29h x 6.12w x 0.27d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780763659547<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 2.5<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>138912 / Bink & Gollie<br><br><b>Award:</b> Monarch Award - Nominee<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Publishers Weekly Best Books</i> 11/08/2010 pg. 34<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Kate
