Oliver loves trains ... or does he? Oliver is afraid of dogs ... or is he? How do we know, when he never says anything? People assume Oliver is shy, because his chatty parents and bossy sister always talk for him. When he starts prekindergarten and is asked what he would like to do, at first the words don't come out. But once he realizes that this is his big chance to speak up for himself, nothing can stop him! What does Oliver really want to say?
PreS-Gr 1- Every time someone asks Oliver a question, a member of his family answers for him before the youngster can open his mouth. Sometimes the response is wrong, but he never manages to set anyone straight. He just closes his mouth. Then, on the first day of prekindergarten, a patient teacher asks him a question and waits as long as it takes for his answer. When Oliver does finally speak, his words stand out from everyone's in large white cartoon balloons. Bubble-eyed cartoon figures on a bright palette of yellows, reds, and blues are rather flat but do bring silliness to the story. There are important messages here. Unfortunately the delivery is heavy-handed, and, like Oliver, the story fails to find its own voice.-Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA
