Fabulous Book!

By twin five year olds and their sister all loved this book. It has nice thick pages and a great story line.

Absolutely wonderful!

My granddaughter thoroughly enjoys the Olivia the Pig books. This is another fine story. My granddaughter's name is of course Olivia so I suppose that is why I started buying the books when she was a toddler. She now has quite a collection and we always look forward to the next released book.

OLIVIA STEALS THE SHOW ...... AGAIN

How can you not love Olivia? This perky, playful little porker is always up to some sort of smile provoking mischief. And often her doings also hold a lesson for young readers. It's that time of year again at Olivia's school - time for the annual school play. Never one to under estimate her abilities Olivia is quite certain she will be given the leading role in The Fairy Queen. However, much to Olivia's distress Francine is given the role of the Fairy Queen and, oh, dear, Olivia is to be Cow Number Two. It's quite one thing to be cast as a cow but to make matter worse she has no speaking lines - all the audience will hear from Olivia is one "Moo." Olivia is pretty downcast until her father reminds her, "Well, just remember: it's not what you say; it's how you say it." Youngsters will enjoy the emphasis, intonations and drama Olivia is able to bring to the one syllable "Moo," and also be happily surprised to learn what Olivia comes up with to almost steal the show. - Gail Cooke
