Another great "Olivia" book! The kids really enjoy the puking little brother. Olivia helps her mother with lots of tasks to prepare for Christmas.

Another fantastic and creative Olivia tale/tail, perfect to read while warming your “trotters” by the fire.

Another delightful book about Olivia and her family. As with the first, I absolutely love the illustrations. The quick humor, Olivia's joie de vivre, and her facial expressions made me laugh out loud a few times. Just adorable and fun.

This is a great holiday book for all ages - it's simple enough to keep our 1-year-old engaged, snarky enough to entertain our 11-year-old, and funny enough to make my husband and I laugh. We read it this year for the first time as part of our Books for Advent Calendar and we're keeping this one in the mix for next year.

This may be my favorite Oliva book. Up to her normal antics Olivia finds ways to help celebrate the season.

I thought we had read all of the original Olivia books but then Harriet found Olivia Helps with Christmas by Ian Falconer at the library. In a rare (for us) bit of coordination we read the book just before Christmas.
It's Christmas Eve and Olivia and her brothers are anxious for things to start. In her enthusiasm to speed things along she takes things to her usual extremes, including harvesting part of the Christmas tree for the table decoration.
The book has Falconer's usual limited pallet, with a little more green than usual. But like so many holiday books with the focus being on the goodness of the holiday and the importance of family and what-not, the book lacks its usual high level of mayhem.
