Olivia is an absolute delight! A gorgeous little pig who likes to dress up, sing songs, dance, think, snooze (sometimes) and is even quite good at building sandcastles.

Her days are filled with the wonderful minutiae that make up a small child's life and, at the end of them, when she snuggles up in bed and her mother reads her a story (or three), Olivia the little pig feels very full of love.

Olivia is an absolute gem of a bookβ€”a modern classic.
