Annotation: Olivia is a spunky piggy who dreams, plays, visits museums, tries on hundreds of outfits, and all this is backdropped with Falconer's amazing artwork!
Evaluation: Miss energy the pig, otherwise known as Olivia, is introduced here in the first Oliva book! Whether viewing fine art, making art on her own walls, dreaming of being a famous dancer, or just trying to get dressed, Olivia is one of the finest characters in modern children's literature. She is drawn in a wonderfully developmentally appropriately bold way with reds, blacks, and whites, and juxtaposed with actual photography and artwork! And in this particular collection, you get a read aloud audio book included with the hard copy. And the Audiobook is a great way to support early literacy skills! Furthermore, I highly recommend the board book version for the younger kids. Every time I read this book in read alouds it seems to be high interest hit with all children, both girls and boys!
