Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere

(4) 4-6 Animal-loving Olga describes in her "observation notebook" the new creature she discovers (it "looked like a cross between an inflated hamster and a potato drawn by a three-year-old" and has rainbow-color poop). Though it occasionally strains too hard for humor, Gravel's entertaining, heavily illustrated story may appeal to fans of gross-out jokes and graphic novels and to science-minded girls.
