Olivia

Author: Ian Falconer
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's

If Eloise were to have a counterpart, it would have to be Olivia -- a little pig with a big personality. Preschoolers will immediately relate to Olivia's ways -- she's got boundless energy, hates naps, and loves to build sandcastles. Olivia's as individual as any young pig can be. She likes Degas paintings, enjoys singing songs (very loudly), and thrives on picking on her little brother. But when the day is through, and she's worn her mother out completely, she still hears an "I love you," which will reassure any child that she's loved, too.
