Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere
Elise Gravel
Olga discovers a strange, smelly creature in her garbage can and names it Olgamus after herself. The creature has unusual habits, including eating olives, burping, and farting. A self-assured young scientist, Olga befriends the animal while trying to understand what it is. She approaches the mystery systematically, using the scientific method, ideas associated with Jane Goodall, and other scientific concepts. Quirky graphics accompany her investigation of the unexpected creature in her backyard.
