Olivia Ian Falconer Books

Olivia, a Caldecott Honor Book, by Ian Falconer is a children's picture book that captures the heart of a confident, strong-minded child. This is the first in a series of Olivia books by Falconer that incorporates the supposed personalities of his own children. Olivia has a wide range of interests from soccer to drama but puts her own flair on them all. This book goes through snippets of Olivia's days. Some say it it disjointed, but the movement from activity to activity speaks well to a young child's short attention span. The short sentences and simple format of the black, white and red pictures and words make this a visually interesting book as well. The pages of words are not overwhelming for a young reader/listener. There is also criticism of Olivia's attitude. I think a parent of a strong-willed child might recognize this as real life handled with humor. Falconer introduces young readers to artists when Olivia visits an art museum. She is disciplined with a "time out" for her Jackson Pollock "reproduction" on the wall at home showing that she does not go unpunished. The book is also honest about Olivia's tenacity, "She is very good at wearing people out. She even wears herself out." This look at a girl who feels her potential is unlimited is a timely, funny read for both children and adults.

Olivia Ian Falconer Books Reviews

I bought this for my five year old, and wish I bought it when she was a little younger. Despite the simple story line, she still likes to look at it, and I hope it's a book that will help her on the way to reading.

I was at first put off by the simplistic writing, but then realized that it was rather sly and rather good. Perhaps I was more put off by the fact that I have my very own Olivia living in my house, and the similarities are rather too striking.

The artwork is by far the best I've seen in a children's book, and I am happy with this purchase for the artwork alone. Since my daughter is old enough to appreciate and care for books, I bought the very good hardcover edition. The quality of the art on paper is superb, and leads me to wonder if we should add a child's book as a category of fine art.
Anyone who's ever had a toddler...especially an active, inquisitive one can appreciate this story. In the literal sea of vividly colored children's books out there, Olivia stands out based on simplistic artwork, color choices, and it being a GREAT story.

Parents and children can relate to Olivia's antics...singing loudly, trying on everything in the closet, having a vivid imagination, painting on walls, etc., especially Olivia's mom saying "You know you really wear me out." And the fact that she is a spunky pig makes no difference.

I have enjoyed hours reading this book (and other Olivia books) to my daughter. It is short enough for a bedtime story but long enough to be complete. A good book all around.
I wasn’t sure if I wanted the board book or this version with the CD. I’m glad I opted for the regular book with disc. It’s fun to listen to the reader and there’s music, too!
Two stars This is a GREAT book, and it was cheap. However, it’s a smaller copy (which may be in the description), AND oddly, when it was manufactured, some of the pages weren’t cut correctly. It was like they had been cut 95%, SO I had to carefully use my finger to pull the pages apart. Thankfully none of the pages tore. I should have paid the extra $5 and bought this from Barnes and Noble.
Such a wonderfully written and drawn book! I love Olivia!!!! Her spirit, positivity, joy, innocence, and love for life are infectious!
Being in red, black, and white only captures the pure essence of Olivia and the story.
Received this as a gift and now we give it as a gift all the time. Its an adorable story, and I love the end ("you really wear me out, but I love you anyways"). Plus it taught my daughter who Jackson Pollack and Edgar Degas are - imagine a little two-year-old shouting "Jackson Pollack!"
It's Olivia! Need I say more! If you have never heard of this character, then meet her and her antics in this book. She is in many more stories/books. She is quite the pig. Read it to my 6 year old active grandson on Skype. He sat long enough to listen to the story and he liked her. Most kids do. That's all that matters.
