DiCamillo, K., & McGhee, A. (2012). Bink and Gollie. Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press.
Bink and Gollie are two friends. They go skating, buy sock, and eat pancakes but they don't really agree on everything. For instance are the sock too bright? Is a fish really a good companion? This is a good early chapter book. Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee include little text on the each page. I appreciate that they use rich vocabulary like "use your gray matter". Parts of the text is also repeated. This helps early readers build fluency. Because it is a chapter book, young readers in primary grades will feel accomplished because they are stepping out of reading a typical picture book.
