so-soOlivia by Ian Falconer a Caldecott winner published in 2000 was a good book! It was simple and easy to follow, it just showed a simple day that most kids can relate to. I think it was relatable even though it‘s a pig.
When they‘ve finished reading, Olivia‘s mother gives her a kiss and says, “you know, you really wear me out but I love you anyway”.
I loved this book as a kid! I forgot about it till I saw the cover. I‘d love to have this in my classroom someday. Who doesn‘t love Olivia?
pickOlivia by Ian Falconer was written in 2000 and is a Caldecott Honor book. This book is interesting and fun to follow along with. You never know what Olivia is going to do next and her personality makes it all that more enjoyable. This would really intrigue kids because I feel like they can relate to what Olivia does. The illustrations are minimalistic and well done and add to the experience of the book.
I think this is an awesome book for children to read because it is relatable to them. Children enjoy the same activities as Olivia and they also dislike the same things Olivia dislikes, such as bed time. I think there is a good message in the book for children as well. Even when they are super energetic, color on the walls and even refuse bedtime their caregivers still love them even when they wear them out.
pickOlivia by Ian Falconer, 2000. Caldecott Award Winning Book. Olivia does a lot of fun things but sometimes she wears others out, and herself. Olivia tries on all of her clothes, she learns how to build a sandcastle, and goes to a museum. She does not like bedtime and is never tired but after a bath, dinner, and three bedtime stories she is ready for bed. Every night her mom gives her a kiss and says even though you wear me out I love you anyway.
so-soI know a lot of people love this book and the others in this series. I thought it was just okay. Illustrations were beautiful but the story about Olivia and her wearing her parents and others out just didn‘t do it for me. Story was a bit simple and iI‘d rather read other more interesting books out there that show young girls how to be true to themselves. Maybe the other stories are better?
