GO ASK OZZIE: A ROTTEN RICHIE STORY

GO ASK OZZIE: A ROTTEN RICHIE STORY by Patricia Polacco

Patricia Polacco is back again with another heart touching story from her life in Go Ask Ozzie. When her grandmother passes away Patricia, her mother, and Richie (her rotten older brother) move from Michigan to California. There they find the local hangout is a pharmacy with a soda counter run by Ozzie who always has an answer for life's problems. When the problem turns out to be Patricia's brother, Ozzie comes through with an answer that turns Patricia's dislike of her brother around. This is a precious story that shows it is possible for siblings to appreciate each other!

Polacco brings her traditional style of art to this book which is always colorful and fun. She uses pencil and acetone markers. The pictures in this book are a hoot as she portrays her brother! I love the dance scenes as well!
