Bookroo's summary

Bink and Gollie, an inseparable duo, launch from their tree house into whimsical escapades. With Bink's love for peanut butter and Gollie's pancake passion, they tackle bright socks, journey to the Andes, and meet an unusual companion. Their roller skates lead them to laughter and surprises, but their friendship remains the true adventure. Will their bond withstand the quirks and challenges they face? Dive into their world of imagination and camaraderie, where every day is a new, hilarious journey.

From the publisher

Winner of the 2011 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award! In a brilliant collaboration, best-selling authors Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee, along with acclaimed illustrator Tony Fucile, introduce an outrageously funny pair of friends.

Meet Bink and Gollie, two precocious little girls — one tiny, one tall, and both utterly irrepressible. Setting out from their super-deluxe tree house and powered by plenty of peanut butter (for Bink) and pancakes (for Gollie), they share three comical adventures involving painfully bright socks, an impromptu trek to the Andes, and a most unlikely marvelous companion. No matter where their roller skates take them, at the end of the day they will always be the very best of friends. Full of quick-witted repartee, this brainchild of Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo and award-winning author Alison McGhee is a hilarious ode to exuberance and camaraderie, imagination and adventure, brought to life through the delightfully kinetic images of Tony Fucile.
