Customer Reviews

A great book for bedtime
Oliver likes milk but the busy-body Auntie Jen and her ghastly daughter Lilly believe otherwise.

Auntie Jen takes Oliver and Lilly off to the farm shop to buy fresh milk and fruit to make a milkshake. They go via the pigs, sheep, chickens and even goats before finding the cows.

This book is just the right length for a bedtime story but can also be used interactively as well (how many sheep can you see, where's the clock etc).

Alison Bartletts illustrations look almost wonderfully childish and compliment the text well.

Thoroughly Recommended

Oliver's yummy scrummy fruity frothy icy nicy milkshake!
These books are just great for introducing a healthy lifestyle. I've always been a fan of 'Oliver's vegetables'; but now i've found 'Oliver's milkshake' and 'Oliver's fruit salad'!
I teach 4 and 5 year olds, they can really understand Oliver and his thoughts. They love the bright pictures and easy to understand text.
Another great read from Vivian French!
