I eye Bink and Gollie across the room with a slow reptilian stare. I yell at it, “I refuse to be charmed by you!” I throw a shoe. Bink and Gollie, to its credit, does not allow itself to be sucked into my childish behavior. I edge a little closer. I cry, “I know your pictures are amazing and your writing manages to be loquacious without being precious but I am not fooled!” I throw my other shoe, which unfortunately means that I am now out of shoes.

This hybrid chapter/picture book tells three short stories about two friends named Bink & Gollie, who, despite being polar opposites, manage to have quite a bit of fun together. Children in the third or fourth grade will be able to read the book on their own but some complex vocabulary make it a better read aloud for younger children, despite its outer resemblance to an easy reader. Pixar veteran Fucile's illustrations are reminiscent of his animated work. Fittingly, the storylines read like...more

This book is simply amazing. It would be very easy for me to simply direct you to Elizabeth Bird's Review of this little gem since she says everything I want to say with such eloquence. Needless to say the pictures are vibrant, the text colorful, the tone charming, and the characters delightfully brilliant.

The big question: What collection do I put this book in? It's not quite a picture book, not quite a reader, and not quite a chapter book. What to do!

Week 10:
Bink & Gollie are two friends who embark on a series of adventures, big and small. Through out their adventures, the two friends learn to compromise on the color of their socks, share the wonder of the Andes Mountains, and save a goldfish's life from a rollerskating accident. Through thick and think, good or bad, these two friends always come out on top because they compromise and agree with each other.

"Bink & Gollie" is appropriate for ages 6+ (Grades 1+).

Though the two girls have very different personalities and do not agree on a lot of things, they have great compromising skills that help them to settle their differences of opinion. This book is divided into three chapters and each chapter contains its own story that takes place in the girls' neighborhood or their tree house. In the first chapter Bink gets a very bright new pair of socks that she absolutely loves and that Gollie cannot stand. When Bink wants some of Gollie’s pancakes, Gollie tries to get her to take off her new socks, but she refuses and both girls refuse to give in to the others request. However, at the end of the story the girls compromise when Gollie gives Bink half of the pancake stack and Bink takes off one of her brightly colored socks. In the other two chapters Gollie goes on a mountain climbing journey and Bink gets a fish which she calls her “marvelous companion.” These stories are fun and young children will relate to the characters in the stories and the disagreements they have.

Since this is a transitional book, the illustrations are integral to the story and so there are a lot more pictures throughout than there would be in a regular chapter book. The format of this book is similar to a graphic novel because there are illustrations on every page and some of the story is actually incorporated into the pictures. For example, in the chapter “Give a Fish a Home” within the illustrations we see signs on the fish shop that say “these fish need your help” and “open your heart to a homeless fish” that help the reader to understand why Bink really wants a pet fish. The illustrations by Tony Fucile are simple pencil like drawings and the only parts of the pictures that are in color are the main characters and the subject of each story. The book contains minimal text on each page and the author uses simple vocabulary that is great for transitional readers. Thus, I think that Bink & Gollie would work well for children in first and second grade because this is the age group where they are moving from picture books to chapter books and this book is a great step toward reading longer, more difficult books. This would be a great book for first or second graders to read on their own.

Ah! I loved this book! It is cute, quirky, and fun. I have been putting off reading it to my library classes because it appeared too long for my 15-minute storytime. I was wrong. It took a little longer, but it was well worth it!

This is deceptively simple tale about two friends which accurately captures the relationship between two girls. One of the best things about this book is that the relationship stands completely alone. The first time I read it, I thought the girls were sisters. At one po...more

Despite their differences, they choose their friendship. At first I thought Bink and Gollie were sisters, but they are best friends who learn to get along even though they have differences. One lives in the house in a tree while the other lives in a house on the ground. Three adventures take place with no parents present in the story. Bink is short with hair that looks like a dandelion. She is energetic and carefree. Gollie, on the other hand, writes and speaks in sentences using big words that Bink can’t understand half the time. She is smart, organized and looks neat. In the first adventure Bink buys a pair of bright socks that irritate Gollie so much she doesn’t want to be with her if she is wearing them. They have to learn to compromise in order to solve their problem. In the second adventure, Gollie is pretending to climb the Andes Mountains in her room, but Bink keeps knocking on her door because she wants to be with her and have a peanut butter sandwich. Gollie eventually lets her in and the two pretend together. The third adventure has Bink buying a pet goldfish and Gollie is irritated or jealous that Bink wants it as a friend. When Bink has an accident with Fred (her goldfish), Gollie is the only one that knows how to save it.

This book contains three episodes in the life of Bink & Gollie, roller skating "marvelous companions" who live in separate tree houses of the same tree. Bink & Gollie each have their own distinct, unique personality and that is what makes this book so much fun. The dynamics between the two, the repartee, the differences in personality and the obvious closeness as friends make these girls two very special characters in the literary world. Mr. Fucile's illustrations capture the essence of Bink & Gollie and it is the combination of writing and illustrating that makes this duo so captivating. I was taken with them right away.

The first story introduces a pair of "outrageous" socks, the second an expedition to the Andes mountains and the third the purchase of a goldfish. While each is an individual story, the theme (and importance) of the socks is carried through the book unobtrusively in the illustrations. Now that the Mercy Watson series is finished I think that fans will be very happy to turn their attentions to Bink & Gollie, the first in what I've heard (no evidence yet) will prove to be a series.

When Bink has an accident with Fred (her goldfish), Gollie is the only one that knows how to save it.

I love these characters. Bink is an active girl who wears a skirt and sneakers. I read the book to seven grade 1 and grade 2 classes and many asked if Bink was a girl or boy. She has a strong character, is good-natured and doesn’t get mad or give in when Gollie tries persuading her to not buy the bright socks and the goldfish. Gollie has a neat bob with a barrett holding her hair off her face. Her socks go over her knees and she likes to be dramatic and use big words. I must journey forth into the wider world. But where? Tasmania? Timbuktu? This book is reminiscent of Frog and Toad and their friendship; one where they irritate and adore each other. Like Frog and Toad, each chapter is complete in itself ; that is, the action at the beginning of the chapter is resolved at the end of the chapter. Unlike Frog and Toad, Bink & Gollie uses difficult words such as bonanza, compromise, gray matter, marvelous companion, outrageous, and more. The words repeat themselves and the illustrations help with children understanding their meaning.

Tony Fucile, illustrator, did an incredible job that gives this book a unique look not found in any other easy readers. His illustrations give the girls their distinct characters such as Bink with her peanut butter sandwiches and the illusion of constant movement, to Gollie with her pancakes, staid personality and deliberate movement. Fucile worked as an animator on the movie, The Incredibles, and Bink reminds me of the character, Dash. Although according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune they are supposed to represent the two authors. The layouts are different than any books to date. A full page spread is followed by another that is divided into three sections that show Bink falling down with the goldfish. Other pages separate the story into scenes such as the example to the left.

I wasn’t sure if Fucile’s illustrations would give young readers enough clues to help them work out the difficult words in the text or if the repetition in the storyline was enough for readers to figure out words not in their vocabulary. After reading it to seven classes I found that most of them were able to figure out all the difficult words in the text because of the clues in the pictures. I had more success with the grade 2 students. For instance, they were able to figure out the idiom of …it’s either Gollie’s way or the highway and the metaphor gray matter. The book is 96 pages and the first graders had problems staying with it. Except they loved the third adventure and it was able to pull their attention back to the story; however, they got a little restless during the second story. The double-page spreads are magnificent. The students laughed at Bink who has to take her fish to the movie theater and they gasped when Bink fell and the fishbowl seemed to fly out of the page of the book. The aerial view of Bink falling is marvelous. While this book looks like a level 1 reader and has a reading level of 1.5, it is really more appropriate for the level 2 reader because of the length and difficulty of the words. A book I can read over and over and over. I can see why it won the 2010 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award.
