Oliver and His Egg

(3) PS Young Oliver imagines that a rock is an egg that contains a new friend. The little boy and his dinosaurlike, orange-polka-dot creature have grand adventures and eventually invite Oliver's friends to join them. The spare, declarative text is paired with pastel-pencil, digitally colored illustrations with soft lines and a pale palette that infuse the story with a daydreamy quality.
