DiCamillo, K., & McGhee, A. (2010). Bink & Gollie: Vol. 1. Bink & Gollie (T. Fucile, Illustrator). Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press.
Summary: Bink and Gollie are two best friends who go through three adventures together--not always agreeing, but always returning to their friendship.
Review: These girls are quirky and have wonderful imaginations. I love that they are so different from each other but still love each other's company. The illustrations are fantastic.
Diversity: Not much. Bink is a bit of a tomboy.

- Quantitative: Lexile 310L, ATOS Book Level 2.75-5.14, Flesh-Kincaid 1.98-5.34, 3.53-6.13RMM
- Qualitative: This text is moderately complex. Each individual story is arranged chronologically. Gollie uses sophisticated vocabulary that is more formal and a little archaic. The illustrations add wonderful context clues to help students make meaning.
