About this audiobook

Ollie won't come out of his egg-he's waiting. Gossie and Gertie desperately want Ollie to come out. Ollie rolls around, stands on his head, and finally rolls right out of his nest, but he won't come out of his shell. Olivier Dunrea often writes about the farm animals that surrounded him when he was growing up, including this hilarious trio of goslings. Ollie, a story of friendship, patience and independence, complements its predecessors Gossie and Gossie and Gertie.
