"NOT A PIGLET WAS STIRRING",
By
This review is from: Olivia Helps with Christmas (Hardcover)
Many young readers have already met and fallen in love with Olivia, the perkiest porker to be found. If your favorite school-ager hasn't had the pleasure yet, now is a perfect time as Olivia gets into the spirit of the holiday season.Ian Falconer's illustrations are irresistible as is his text which is liberally sprinkled with quips. Who could resist smiling when Olivia gets soot on her snout as she peers up the chimney looking for Santa? Her family goes through the traditional pre-Christmas rituals, singing carols, trimming the tree (as Olivia tangles herself in strings of lights), and leaving a snack for St. Nick. We're treated to both visual and verbal gifts from the irrepressible Mr. Falconer on the night when "not a piglet was stirring" (supposedly). - Gail Cooke

Rich, gorgeous book,
By
This review is from: Olivia Helps with Christmas (Hardcover)
This is this is an excellent book, full of Ian Falconer's witty and beautifully executed drawings. We can all relate to the challenges of getting ready for the holidays, and Mr. Falconer captures the families frenetic preparations and warm celebration perfectly-with Olivia, of course right there in the mix, working hard to 'help' with the holiday preparations. The drawings themselves are beautifully rendered with new techniques unseen in earlier books, and the rich red cover with an embossed title makes this the perfect holiday gift. To make your gift more substantial, add to it books from the series Why Some Cats are Rascals.
