Review Olivia is a small pig with a big personality! Children will love following along as Olivia goes throughout her day, sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always herself. This book will engage young reader's creativity and imagination, while also tapping into their humorous side. Themes Creativity, Family, Bedtime Application This book would be an excellent pick for Pajama Storytime. It could also be a nice simple introduction to art for kids. After reading the story, children could get the chance to try their hand at creating their very own Jackson Pollock inspired masterpiece, just like Olivia!
