Olivia

Hundreds of people have fallen in love with Olivia and know how wonderful Ian Falconer character is but I couldn't help commenting on this charming and witty book. Most children love to read the same book over and over and it can get quite tiresome for the poor readers but like a great movie, this book is easliy read over and over again.

I have ordered used books from other companies before and been disappointed with the quality, but not in this situation. The book was excellent quality, and arrived within five days, even though it was set for up to 2 weeks. Very impressed. Would purchase from them again in a heartbeat.

My daughter borrowed this book from the library and everytime they would go there, my almost two year old
granddaughter would say "Olivia book". Well needless to say grandma had to get it for her so she could have
it read to her at anytime.
Thank you

Great fun book. A little lengthy for the younger (ie. <1year) crowd, but fun to read nonetheless.
Illustrations are well done.

As I mentioned, I got this for oru 6month old, so we opted for the board book style instead; pages are thicker and not as susceptible to wrinkling or tearing.

Olivia is delightful.
Most baby showers these days ask for "books" in place of cards. How fun it is to deliver an Olivia board book - along with some cute, cute, cute, Olivia baby clothes from Gymboree (this is not an advertisement -- just a statement of fact. Gymboree sells the cutest baby clothes with Olivia on them).

I love all of the Olivia books! Always excited to see what clever and curious ideas Olivia has next. Following Olivia in each book is entertaining for both the adult reader and the little one who is reading. The book is easy enough and has enough 'action' to read to a toddler, yet there is enough to read for an early reader to learn on a favorite book.
The hard cover books all stcked together on a shelf are a classic look, and encourage reading with your little ones. What adventures will Olivia have next!
Sure, the book dipicts Olivia getting into 'trouble' creating messes or trying on 20+ outfits in the morning- what I like is, the kids giggle that she is being bad, and say 'nooo!!' to her behaviour - identifying she's just being silly, and not mirroring her behaviour. What I appreciate is Olivia's strong personality, confidence and imagination - inspires kids to do more than just structured play.
