Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere

Olga is an impertinent, unconventional little girl, a bit of an introvert and a great observer. Her great passion is animals, and indeed she prefers their company to that of humans and wants to be a zoologist when she grows up. One day Olga finds a little pink creature in the rubbish. It looks like a potato with a tail and it’s very, very smelly. She thinks she really has discovered a new animal species, so she decides to adopt it and even gives it a scientific name: Olgamus ridiculus. It is an amusing book, with lots of word bubbles and illustrations, with the observations of the budding zoologist and with her experiments, full of unexpected twists and turns.
