The illustrations are my favorite part. I don't really like the story line (it's rather straight and boring) however it is still cute and made me laugh. As a reader, I thought it was great, as an educator, I'd say it was alright.

After seeing the animated series on television, I had expected something quite different. Still very enjoyable and a good bedtime read!

In a very simple way this book captures the energy and charm of a super active smart little kid, without the exhaustion of being there yourself. With surprisingly intricate simple pictures it lets you feel her day. Great writing and funny, fantastic art. And given that it ends with bedtime book reading (and then sleep), quite fitting as a bedtime book. I'd expect this book would be fun to study page by page, including looking at the two paintings called out by Olivia's trip to the museum.

Such a delight. Unlike the reaction I had to rereading [b:Madeline and the Bad Hat|1027760|Madeline and the Bad Hat|Ludwig Bemelmans|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1355497395s/1027760.jpg|1092326], I loved experiencing this one again. The illustrations are gorgeous, the story is funny, and Olivia is so relatable.
As an added bonus, I was treated to the rare experience of being read TO instead of reading to someone else. The second-grader I was babysitting picked this book out and read it to me, with character. I was able to witness his joy in the act of reading, as he tried to convey Olivia's mother's exasperation while simultaneously being unable to stop himself from cracking up. I love kids, and I love books.

Pepo - povuci se u ilegalu. Olivija je prase kakvo ti nikada nećeš biti. Ona slika, ona igra balet, ona gradi kule od peska na plaži i tera mamu da joj čita po pet knjiga pred spavanje. Ide u muzej i ima psa i crnog mačka.
Fak jea, Olivija!
Fak jea, Olivija!

We love Olivia. She is a wonderfully creative character who uses her imagination while being a strong girl pig. Plus the storylines and illustrations are very intelligent. Olivia is unique in a world of kids characters which are predictable and sometimes bland. While these are kids books they are not "dumbed" down for kids.
