Olivia and the Missing Toy by Ian Falconer

2.0

While I was quite enchanted with the first [b:Olivia|770051|Olivia|Ian Falconer|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349034348s/770051.jpg|2484218] (even if I suspect it may be written for parents, sometimes more than children), I didn't like this book half as much. I still liked the graphical illustrations, and I guess that's mostly what these books are about anyway, but I'm not so sure if kids care all that much for them, and then, the story was just too disjointed, nonsensical. Like, what was the point with the red soccer jersey? All in all, the story felt like two, three disparate jokes thrown into to the cool design of [a:Falconer's|27861|Ian Falconer|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1197074556p2/27861.jpg] Olivia books.
