Journal Entry 1 by wingGoryDetailswing from Nashua, New Hampshire USA on Monday, May 18, 2020
I got this hardcover from Better World Books. (It has an inscription to a previous owner, from her grandparents, for her 3rd birthday in 2005.) It's an amusing tale, in rhyme, about the grumpy Olga the brolga (a variety of wetland bird from Australia): "Olga the brolga was in a terrible mood. She was whiny and pushy and downright rude." She annoys her parents by demanding attention, so they send her out to play with her friend Ellie the crocodile - who doesn't want to dance either and sends Olga off to Joanna Jacana ("I saw her dancing last night at the Club Tropicana"), but Joanna's too tired, and so it goes...

Eventually Olga decides that if nobody else will dance with her, she'll just dance by herself - and so she does, to glorious effect, drawing in all her other friends!
