Perhaps I am biased given that I am also an Oliver. However, in Good Job, Oliver, the combination of repitition, beautiful illustration (I have the hardcover version) and a very positive message of not letting challenges overwhelm you is very uplifting. I always feel revitalized after I read it. I can not recommend it more strongly.

This book is so pretty, you will find something new to look at each time you read it. The beauty does not outweigh the messages that you can be little and still accomplish more than the bigger "bunnies", and also that by stoping and thinking you can find the solution to problems. Oliver saves the day and then shares his good fortune...multiple messages, great pictures, all around enjoyable!

A wonderful book for young children. Oliver proves that biggest isn't always best and provides encouragement for the "little guy". It is a very reassuring tale and the illustrations are superb.

This is a super story, that makes sure we all understand that even the smallest among us are capable of making great contributions, and achievments. It's also about character...sticking with something, even through the rough stuff (like pesky birds and gophers and such, that want to eat your strawberries!). Laurel's paintings are engaging and JOYOUS (!), as always. GREAT BOOK!!!! :-)

this book is for ages 8 and under, my question is why, adults seem to actually enjoy this book more then kids, as it reminds them of the powerful power and control they have over them. for example when the bunny felt powerful because he grew the biggest strawberries, the power was taken away, by his mom who forced him to go sleep
