Olivia is a spunky pig who is always on the go. This book introduces us to the character and her favorite things. She loves playing dress up, going to the beach, and going to the museum. Art students could learn about strategically chosen color from the artwork in Olivia. Every page is in black and white, with touches of red throughout. It leaves plenty of white space on each page, which makes the book feel very clean and well planned. Olivia is very playful and ambitious, which makes her adventures fun to read.
