Reviews

[Amy Bodkin]

We LOVE Olga Da Polga!!! She is so sassy and so funny!!

128 pages; This is from the same author as Paddington and is very, very old - 1973 copyright. It is a story about a guinea pig who is taken by the Sawdust family to the sea and meets another guinea pig named Boris. BORING! WEED IT!!! Not recommended.

[Angela Doyle]

This is nowhere near as good as Paddington bear

[Nora]

I like Paddington Bear, but I think Olga is my favorite.

[Faith Patterson]

Another fun read aloud✨

[Laura María]

Cada capítulo es un mundo, bien libro para leer en un día y pasar el rato pero muy repetitivo y muy confuso.

[Tirzah]

Funny adventures continue for Olga and her friends, plus she finds romance in the equally fanciful Boris.

Olga you absolute icon of this generation.

"The audience had never seen anything like it.
"Moreski!" they cried. "Moreski! Moreski!""

Por favor, cómo una unidad de personaje puede ser tan adorable 😭.

Estoy enamoradísima de Olga y sinceramente espero ver cómo serán sus cobayitas.

Por otro lado, tenemos nuevas historias adorables llenas de animalitos (ya conocidos o nuevos).

Ay, de verdad. Qué historia más cuqui.

Olga da Polga is perhaps the spunkiest cavy heroine you'll ever run across (even if she's not really Russian). Her adventures with Boris, with a giant toad, with a new pond in the backyard, with a dip in said pond, and with a construction site next door, will make you smile if you've ever had an, um, spirited pet. Highly recommended.

I think olga da polga is kinda annoying.

[Laura]

The last chapter was far too exciting for bedtime reading! :) The love/hate relationship between Olga and Noel is just brilliant too.
