Synopsis
Oliver Tolliver lives all alone and has one of everything in his little house -- "One plum and one apple, one pear and one peach. /Just one, only one, simply one, one of each". To him, it's perfect. But one day he realizes that his one-of-each house leaves no room for anyone else! Oliver soon discovers that two of each is even better, because sharing makes room for friends. This warmly humorous picture book carries a gentle message that speaks to every child's experience. Accompanied by Caldecott Honor winner Marjorie Priceman's bold, colorful illustrations, One of Each is sure to become a story time favorite.

Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 2. Oliver Tolliver thinks that his "one-of-each" treasures are perfect until he realizes that something is missing?a friend. A singular picture book with a bouncy text and comical animal characters.
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
An exuberant story in singsong about the pleasures of sharing with friends, from the author of The Seven Silly Eaters (p. 223). Oliver Tolliver, perhaps an Airedale terrier, thinks he has the perfect home, for he has one of everything he needs. He invites a small gray tabby cat, Peggoty Small, in to admire his accoutrements, but is dismayed that she finds his arrangements less than inviting. Oliver makes haste to equip his house more hospitably and is soon sharing his happy home not only with Peggoty but with a whole party of new friends as well. The simple story is borne along in lighthearted verse and busy, full-bleed paintings; children will enjoy touring Oliver's ``little old tumbledown house,'' with its riot of colors, jumble of patterns, curvaceous furniture, and dancing perspectives. Finding all the things Oliver adds to his house to make it fit for two is a pleasant challenge. (Picture book. 4-7) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
