About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the delicate balance of a close friendship, especially when one friend's personal ambitions or 'grand' ideas threaten to leave the other behind. It is an ideal choice for children who are beginning to experience the small jealousies and competitive streaks that naturally occur in long-term playmates. Through three humorous interconnected stories, the mismatched duo of Bink and Gollie explores what happens when one friend believes they have royal ancestry or when a quest for a world record becomes an obsession. The book uses witty dialogue and expressive illustrations to model how friends can support each other's wildest dreams while remaining grounded in their shared bond. It is a sophisticated yet accessible early reader that helps children understand that friendship is more valuable than any title or trophy.
