Irresistible bunnies, a mother-son bond, and a sweet can-do story make this picture book a classic crowd pleaser. When little Oliver Bunny enters the Strawberry Contest, the big bunnies just laugh at... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Perhaps I am biased given that I am also an Oliver. However, in Good Job, Oliver, the combination of repitition, beautiful illustration (I have the hardcover version) and a very positive message of not letting challenges overwhelm you is very uplifting. I always feel revitalized after I read it. I can not recommend it more strongly.
beautiful and thought provoking

This book is so pretty, you will find something new to look at each time you read it. The beauty does not outweigh the messages that you can be little and still accomplish more than the bigger "bunnies", and also that by stoping and thinking you can find the solution to problems. Oliver saves the day and then shares his good fortune...multiple messages, great pictures, all around enjoyable!
A hero that children will cheer for !

A wonderful book for young children. Oliver proves that biggest isn't always best and provides encouragement for the "little guy". It is a very reassuring tale and the illustrations are superb.
Perfect book for little "But I want to do it myself!" ones

This is a super story, that makes sure we all understand that even the smallest among us are capable of making great contributions, and achievments. It's also about character...sticking with something, even through the rough stuff (like pesky birds and gophers and such, that want to eat your strawberries!). Laurel's paintings are engaging and JOYOUS (!), as always. GREAT BOOK!!!! :-)
