Learn about opposites with Olivia like loud and quiet, plain and fancy, and more.
Cute, if short, primer on opposites. Olivia is as charming as ever.
I chose this book because of the popularity of the Olivia books, and because I am not familiar with them. This is a wonderful book. The illustrations are simple, but full of movement. The protagonist is a female pig, and the drawings are done in such a way that she has a lot of personality. The board book is in "chewable" format, so it is more durable for this age group. Olivia is drawn entirely in black, white and red which makes the red stand out where it is used. Her character seems self-ass
Not much content and a lot of it is recycled from the original book.
I really like this book because of the simple yet descriptive and funny illustrations. There's only one word to a page/picture, so it's easier for my son to focus on what the word means. Also, the whole book is black and white, so I think even a very young infant my be able to enjoy looking at this book- as those are the only colors newborns can see.
My 2 year old LOVES this book. We bought it sunday and already she is remembering oppisites for four different things! It is simple (one word per page) and the drawing on each page shows just the word it is depicting so it does not confuse her and it helps her understand the word better.
This a cute little book, told in Olivia's spunky style. I enjoyed this short board book and would definitely recommend, it is highly amusing.*Taken from my book reviews blog: http://reviewsatmse.blogspot.com/2009...
Very simple and cute using illustrations from the Olivia books.
Cute basic book. Emphasis is on the words..... and opposites!!! Sketches are a nice addition. Bland but effective.
A simple board book featuring the character Olivia and several basic opposites.
Very simple board book featuring the beloved pig Olivia. 3/5 stars.
The pictures are all from previous Olivia books. I was disappointed.
Exactly what the title indicates: A children’s book of opposites like up/down, loud/quiet, etc. Falconer illustrates with his traditional black/white and a splash of red.
