Falconer, I. (2000). Olivia. New York , NY
Caldecott Honor book, the main character of this book is Olivia, a pig. It appears that this pig could go all day and night if her mother allowed it. Activity after activity, she keeps going strong. After a long day of singing, dancing, jumping, and painting, Olivia is not ready for bed. She pulls out several books for her mother to read to her. They agree on the mother reading one story before going to bed. Exhausted after a long day, her mother tells Olivia that even though she does tire her out, she still loves her. Olivia shares that the feeling is mutual.
Illustrations were black and white with a hint of red as seen on the cover. The bright red brought a sort of added attention to Olivia as the color was on her clothing and items belonging to her. The color all around her depicts her everlasting energy. It is one great, fun book with a happy-go-lucky pig.
