Ollie and Augustus by Gabriel Evans. unpgd. Candlewick Press, May, 2020. 9781536209679. (Review of finished copy courtesy of publisher.)
Ollie and Augustus are bffs. Like most bffs, they occasionally clash, but always make up before lunch. Like most bffs, they do everything together. Ollie is small. Augustus is huge. They make it work. But. Ollie is about to begin school and he's worried that Augustus will be lonely without him all day, so he sets about finding a new friend for his pal. Did I mention that Augustus is a dog?
This adorable friendship/ school anxiety story is both humorous and gently reassuring in the best possible ways. The pencil and watercolor vignettes charm from end-page to end-page. I just loved this one!
