Olivia-Caldecott Honor Book


Falconer, I.(2000). Olivia. New York: Atheneum Books for Young Readers.
Olivia is a wonderful story written and illustrated about the life of a dramatic, young pig and her family. This is the first book in a series of books based on this character. Olivia is a very active pig that keeps her family and friends very busy with her exaggerated stories and over-active imagination. This book is wonderful for young readers and is ideal to read with young children. Many parents can relate to the story of Olivia because their children have many of the same characteristics. The illustrations in the book aren't the most eye catching, but get the job done with detail. Olivia is now shown on Nickelodeon as a cartoon series.
