Rolie Polie Olie is set in a cheerful mechanical world where everything is round — the houses, the trees, the pets, and the robot family at the center of it all. William Joyce created the original picture book in 1999, and it quickly became one of his most popular creations, spawning a Disney Channel animated series that ran for several seasons.

The book series expanded to eighteen titles between 1999 and 2006, following Olie, his sister Zowie, his dog Spot, and his friend Billy through everyday adventures rendered in Joyce’s distinctive rounded, retro-futuristic style. Snowie Rolie, Sleepy Time Olie, and Big Time Olie are among the highlights.
