We bought this book to reveal the name for our second child in a maternity shoot. The book is so simple and cute. Comes with a CD so you don’t have to always be the one reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Olivia - Strong Female
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2017

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh, those pictures
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2006

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.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2023

This was one of my daughter's favorite books growing up and how she actually learned to read. She would point at the words as I read them and she eventually memorized the book. Then she started recognizing the words when she saw them in other books! Maybe every child won't learn to read the way she did, but it's a cute little book and I buy a copy for every new baby that comes into our lives!
