About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning to a new environment, such as moving into a 'big kid' bed, starting a new school, or even just setting up a backyard playhouse. This gentle story follows Olga da Polga, a spunky guinea pig with a flair for the dramatic, as her owner Mr. Sawdust builds her a special outdoor run. Instead of being nervous about the change, Olga approaches her 'second house' with immense pride and a wonderful sense of ownership. Michael Bond, the creator of Paddington Bear, weaves a charming tale about finding joy in new spaces and the importance of feeling like the master of one's own domain. For children ages 4 to 7, Olga serves as a confident role model who uses her imagination to turn a simple wooden structure into a grand estate. It is a perfect choice for providing comfort during routines changes or celebrating a child's growing independence.
