Ollie's Odyssey

Product Information

Like Joyce's guardian books that are in the 6-8 year old range, this one felt drawn out without a fluidity in the narrative. L’autore ha uno stile bellissimo, accompagna il lettore nella storia senza fallo sentire “bambino”, non cade nei cliché tipici della letteratura dell’infanzia, anzi, affronta argomenti importanti senza però nasconderne i lati negativi e più bui. But maybe you'll be able to like this book for what it is, because despite the hollywoodish plotline and all the action for the sake of action and slapstick and lazy tropes (these things bore me more than they probably should, maybe it's because I read more children's books than I probably should) it's a very lovely story with a lovely message and lovely illustrations and lovely quotes.

Was Billy correct in thinking that leaving a trail of toys behind was safer than the crumbs that Hansel and Gretel used to help them find their way home?I enjoyed the coming of age aspect and the development of the relationship between toys and their child-owners. The too-sweet language of this bedtime rhyme is belied by Joyce's dark and atmospheric illustrations. Discuss the change in dynamics between Billy being the protector of Ollie to Ollie being the protector of Billy. Una narración que habla de la familia, del amor, la lealtad, la humildad, la amistad, de nunca abandonar a los amigos y ayudar siempre a los menos afortunados, una historia que trata de Ollie, que es el "prefe" de Billy, y Billy es el niño de Ollie, y juntos van a tener una gran "ventura" inolvidable en donde demostrarán que son inseparables.
