LITERATURE
Hughes, Shirley

Olly and Me

(4) K-3 Hughes's trademark paintings of the joyous but often messy and disorganized world of families with young children accompany a hodgepodge of poems about preschooler Katie and her baby brother, Olly. Narrated by Katie, the poetry, centered around everyday subjects like ballet class and visits to the park, isn't spectacular literature, but it is warm-hearted and true to a child's perspective.
