Description
Oliver just wants to spread the word about wildlife conservation, but his plans go awry when the local prairie dog habitat is threatened
Oliver Dibbs is passionate about animals, and heâs willing to do anything to help a good cause. The only problem is, Ollie doesnât always think his plans through before acting on them, and this has gotten him into a lot of trouble. No matter what cause Ollie is fighting forâwhether itâs tigers, wolves, or whalesâsomething always goes wrong. It doesnât help that his little brother, Bo, always wants to tag along. Itâs hard to look out for a seven-year-old and save the world at the same time.
But when Ollie finds out a local businessman is planning to build a shopping mall right over the townâs prairie dog habitat, he knows that he canât fail. If he doesnât step in and protect the prairie dogsâ home, theyâll all die. This time, Ollie has to make sure nothing stands in his way!
âA witty story of one 10-year-oldâs misguided but well-meaning attempts at wildlife preservation and conservation.â âPublishers Weekly
âSteiner depicts Ollieâs attempts to learn to think before he acts in a series of swift-moving, humorous episodes. . . . Steiner obviously knows her subjects (kids and conservation) very well. Her skillful interweaving of the conservation theme and her consistently light but sure touch with this serious subject make Oliver Dibbs . . . more than just another funny school story. The book would make a fine read-aloud, particularly for a class studying endangered species.â âSchool Library Journal Barbara Steiner (1934â2014) was an acclaimed author known for her books for children and young adults.
