description: In a sweet story full of visual humor first-day-of-school worries take on a new weight when Ollies best (and furriest) friend must stay at home.Ollie was small  like a pickling jar or a shoe box.Augustus was big  like a fridge or a table.Ollie and his dog Augustus do almost everything together: painting riding bikes digging (Ollies favorite) and collecting sticks (Augustuss favorite). So as Ollie is getting ready to start school hes a little worried. Wont Augustus be lonely during the day? Ollie has just the idea: a sign that reads Wanted: Friend for Augustus. But good friends as it turns out are hard to find. Luckily Ollie and Augustus arent just any kind of friends  theyre best friends and nothing will ever change that. Endearingly illustrated with scratch-scratchy appeal this is a tale for animal lovers and new school-goers alike.
