Ollie & Moon by Diane Kredensor5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() It's entertainment, but not the stuff memories are made of-despite the Parisian setting. Laughs are thrown in whether they advance the story or not on the title page, a Paris toilet is the vehicle for some light bathroom humor, as Ollie emerges with paper stuck to his paw elsewhere, he surprises Moon in another bathroom. Kredensor's drawings of the two goggle-eyed cats are shown against Kress's photographs of Paris, where the duo lives, and French vocabulary is sprinkled throughout ("Ollie's stomach was growling, so they stopped at the fromagerie to buy some Brie"). She is also an Emmy Award-winning artist, director, and producer for her work on animated TV shows such as Pinky and the Brain, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and WordWorld, to name a few. ROUND and MUSICAL, it has LOTS OF COLORS, it has FUR, HOOVES, and FEATHERS, and it's BRIGHT with LIGHTS!" (Spoiler: it's a carousel ride.)

DIANE KREDENSOR is the author and illustrator of the Ollie & Moon picture book series for Random House Childrens Books. ![]() ![]() With mounting excitement, she asks questions and collects clues that accumulate throughout the pages. ![]() In the main story line of Kredensor's debut, cartoon cat Ollie offers a surprise to his friend Moon. ![]()
