Bink & Gollie: Two for One. 13 min. with tchr’s guide. Weston Woods. 2013. ISBN 9780545570312, $59.95; CD, ISBN 9780545570367, $12.95; CD with hardcover book, ISBN 9780545570275, $29.95. PreS-Gr 2–Best friends Bink and Gollie make a winning transition to CD and DVD with their adventures at the state fair. The animation is true to the book with black-and-white, mostly static, line drawing backdrops. The jaunty musical accompaniment perfectly suits the activities while the voice actors expertly bring to life the shy Gollie, exuberant Bink, and the mysterious Russian fortune-teller, Madame Prunely. The DVD successfully conveys the visual humor, including the talent show participants’ hiliarious missteps. When Gollie, a victim of stage fright, is unable to perform at the show, Bink ushers her into a barn; the video allows viewers to watch her construct the stage of hay bales and to see the comical reactions of the resident cows. At the end, scenes of their adventures play out as the credits roll, providing a recap of these sweet and funny stories. These media formats enhance an exceptional book.–Constance Dickerson, Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library, OH We are currently offering this content for free.
