Ollie and Claire are best friends, but they've fallen into a bit of a routine, and now Claire feels like she needs a change. When she sees an advertisement from someone looking for a travel buddy, Claire jumps at the chance. But who will her anonymous companion be? And how on Earth will she tell Ollie she's leaving?
Ollie and Claire feels like a kid-friendly version of "The Piña Colada Song." Careful readers will see hints to the delightful twist in the illustrations, although it may take a second or third read to notice them. The rhythm flows perfectly with no weird choppiness to make the rhymes fit, and the pictures bring the story to life in an amusing way. All in all a fun story that will likely leave many readers smiling.
