Olga Follows Her Nose

Reach for this book when your child starts telling elaborate, tall tales about their day or when you want to nurture their budding sense of wonder. While the description mentions a film, Olga da Polga is actually the delightful creation of Michael Bond, the author of Paddington Bear. These stories follow a highly imaginative guinea pig who views her ordinary backyard life through a lens of grand adventure and heroic feats. It is a perfect choice for children who may feel small in a big world but possess an enormous inner life. Through Olga's humorous exploits, children learn to value their own creativity and find joy in the everyday. The language is sophisticated yet accessible, making it an excellent bridge for kids moving into longer chapter books. It celebrates self-confidence and the art of storytelling in a way that feels both classic and timeless.
