A fun children's read!My View:I love this feisty little character called Olivia – she is inquisitive, she has imagination and the writer and illustrator, Ian Falconer, has a great sense of humour that is evident throughout the narrative (and the drawings). This is part of a number of “Olivia” books – I think young children would enjoy to follow this fun character on her adventures. There is a moral to the story – so this could be a useful tool for school librarians, teachers, budding young artis...
I love it! Classic, stupendous Falconer. Falconer hasn't released a picture book in years. He has been sorely missed. Olivia the Spy is clever and humorous with simply the most amazing illustrations. A few real photos thrown in to add to its awesomeness. Brilliant!
I love the Olivia books and found this one! The author Ian Falconer writes and illustrates these beautiful stories about his niece! Olivia is five years old and thinks she can do anything...but it all ends rather messily! It would be a fun read-a-loud book for K-2 and pre-K. It is humorous for adult readers which is always a plus!
Olivia learns a lesson about eavesdropping. Another classic!
Our first encounter with Olivia and we utterly enjoyed it. Olivia is such a delicious character! And her relationship with her mother is wickedly realistic with a touch of sass. Glorious piggistry!
So glad Falconer has written another original Olivia book! This one is just as cute and clever as the others. I loved the charcoal and gouache illustrations; especially the blueberry blender disaster. I also liked the photo of the ballet venue, with all the silhouetted pigs in the windows. A great addition to the series.
Olivia is a little girl pig who always stands out and is always up to something, especially mischief. After causing havoc around her house Olivia's mother is fed up. Olivia attempts to blend in rather than stand out because she overheard her mother saying she wants to send Olivia to an institution. Olivia does her best to investigate what the word 'institution' means, but what she doesn't know is that her mom is actually planning on taking her to the ballet. The illustrator uses color to emphasi...
Olivia the pig returns in this eighth picture-book devoted to her madcap adventures, this time discovering (as have many before her) that eavesdroppers rarely hear anything good about themselves. Listening in on her mother's telephone conversation, in which some (very justified!) venting is occurring, Olivia gets the idea that she is to be sent to an 'institution,' specifically, to prison. Her subsequent visit to the ballet is quite a relief, although she manages to cause chaos there too. In the...
Oh Olivia, never stop being you!
Classic Olivia story about misunderstanding and growing up.
This is part of my 365 Kids Books challenge. For an explanation see my review for 101 Amazing Facts about Australia You can see all the books on their own shelf. Olivia has been spying, which ends up making her unhappy. Her camouflage is hilarious, as are the faux pas that exasperate her mother. I would love to see more of Olivia being audacious. Always.3 August 2018Now when I read an Olivia book, I keep an eye out for Edwin the cat.. This is not my favorite Olivia, she's not as brash, which is
Is this my autobiography?? Because I’m pretty sure I’m Olivia. RTC
Olivia is at it again, getting on her mother's last nerve with all the messes she makes. When she overhears her mother's telephone conversations she misconstrues what she hears, as usual, and keeps spying to hear more! Olive and Spy by Ian Falconer is sure to inspire some spying around your house. For ages 3-8.
damn these are funny.
This was really funny. I love Olivia!
