Oliver`s Lollipop, Wortche, Allison

Oliver finds the perfect lollipop on his birthday trip to the zoo, and its all he can think about! Forget riding the carousel--he might drop his precious treat. No point roaring at the lions with his brother or engaging with any of the animals. After all, who needs the peacocks beautiful feathers or the flamingoes brilliant hues when theres a colorful swirly lollipop to admire?

But when one particular zoo animal threatens to ruin the fun, Oliver learns that theres plenty more to see than the candy hed been coveting. And sharing the day--and his sweets--with his brother might just be the most special treat of all.
