Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Familiar characters star in all new adventures this season and a pair of companion volumes encourage wordplay. In William Joyce's Big Time Olie, the robot boy hero makes use of the "shrink-and-grow-a-lator" when his parents exclude him from activities because of his size. Olie gets unexpected results when he hits the wrong buttons on the machine.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-Rolie Polie Olie is too small to go to Mount Big Ball and too big to jump on his bed eating ice cream. When he decides to use the "shrink-and-grow-a-lator," he becomes so small that his sister thinks he's a doll; next, he becomes so big that one jump puts him in outer space, and he winds up bruised, burned, and lonely. The family dog, with the help of mom and dad, helps Rolie get back to just the right size, and he decides that "I won't be in such a hurry to grow all Rolie up." The brightly colored characters, fashioned out of round balls, metal springs, and simple shapes, and the slightly futuristic, but somehow old-fashioned cartoon quality of the illustrations meet for a wonderfully playful effect. The spare, rhythmic text perfectly captures the conflicting desires of preschoolers to grow up and venture out, yet to be safe and close to home and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Olie Turns Huge, April 23, 2007
A Kid's Review
I like this book so very much. I like it because it teaches young children a lesson. What happens in this book is that Olie was mad because his dad said he was not big enough big to eat ice cream on his bed and to young to see a movie with them. Olie then turned himself huge. Olie realized that being big wasn't fun. That day Olie realized that he'll grow someday, and it doesn't matter when. I recommend this book for a bed time story for the ages 4-7.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big,Bigger,Biggest, Olie!, April 19, 2007
A Kid's Review
The story Big Time Olie is about Olie who wants to get bigger because he isn't the right size for anything. Olie uses the shrink-and-grow-a-later to make him bigger. The problem is that he makes him self to big. Finally, his parents come and shrink him back to size. Olie learns he should be happy with his size. I think this is a great book for kids of all ages. I recommend this book to anyone who loves Rolie Polie Olie and his adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Olie turns huge!, April 18, 2007
A Kid's Review
I love this book. I love it because it teaches children a lesson. It teaches them that you will grow up some day and it does not matter when. I recommend this book for the ages 4-7 because they will fall in love with it.

love rolie polie olie - but the rest of the books do not match up
Published 8 months ago by sledge

4.0 out of 5 stars I like Olie!
I like this book very much, but it's not as much of a favorite for the 2 year olds that I bought it for. They enjoy the board books more. Read more
