This book is not only well written and extremely humorous.our toddler cracks up laughing every time (though this may require some effort on your part using different voices / tones to impart dramatization!), but it has unique and detailed illustrations from the hand of Ian Falconer - a cartoonist best known for his work on hte New Yorker - so it is in a similar style - primarily black and white, with washes of occasional color - reds and greens. In this book our title character, whose impulsive and honorary ways are more than reminiscent of your average youngster, has her mommy make her a new soccer uniform as she is unimpressed by the color of her current outfit - but all excitement of having the new garment complete goes out the window when she realizes that her favorite toy has gone missing!įrom this point on, panic erupts.this becomes the focal point of the story, as Olivia searches for the toy and questions EVERYONE who is a possible suspect.of course, her siblings are her primary focus!! Capitalization and frantic words help bring this funny story to life which serves to illustrate just how dramatic our children can be when for a minor event to us, becomes a major cause of concern for them!

Olivia is a delightful series of books featuring a little pig - Olivia and her adventures that are primarily created by the way in which she sees the world! Funny enjoyable book from this adorable series
