Description
A funny, heartwarming story about little Ollie's determination to make sure his great big dog Augustus is okay when he's at school.
Ollie was small – like a pickling jar or a shoe box.
Augustus was big – like a fridge or a table.
They did most things together, including cycling, painting, dressing up, digging (Ollie's favourite thing) and stick collecting (Augustus's favourite thing). But Ollie is about to start school, and he has one major concern: who will keep Augustus company?
He decides to search for a playmate for his enormous companion, but good friends are hard to find, especially for your best mate. In the end, Augustus shows Ollie that he doesn't mind waiting for him and that he can enjoy his time at school, worry-free.
Ollie and Augustus is a delightful tale that highlights the bond between a boy and his dog, offering a comforting message about friendship and independence.

About the Author
Gabriel Evans grew up in a country town next to a river. He was always drawing on scraps of paper and building inventions from his 1920’s Boy’s Book of Hobbies. His dream was to be a train driver with a blue hat, a circus master with a curly moustache, or an illustrator. At the age of 17, he became a children's book illustrator, and he hasn't stopped working since.
Aspects of this book were inspired by Gabriel's rescue Border Collie who thinks she is bigger than she is.
