Description

Olivia is an absolute delight! A gorgeous little pig who likes to dress-up, sing songs, dance, think, snooze (sometimes!) and is even good at building sandcastles. Her days are filled with all the wonderful little things that make up a child's life and, at the end of them when she snuggles up in bed and her mother reads her a story, Olivia feels very full of love. Olivia is an absolute gem of a book - a modern classic.
Dame Joan Sutherland Every granny will recognize and love Olivia and her theatrical desires!
Hilary Knight Eloise has met her match! We love Olivia!
Mikhail Baryshnikov Many dream of dancing on the stage, but Olivia has the legs for it.
David Hockney Olivia's grasp of abstract composition is extraordinary for a six-year-old.
Gloria Steinem At last, a pig with self-esteem!
