This is the only Olivia book I’ve read so not sure my review will pertain to any others， but Olivia seems like a brat， her parents reluctance towards her creativity was heartbreaking， she and her siblings are disobedient and a child that “allows her father” to do anything is super cringe。 Nope， will not be reading this one to my daughter。 0 positive take-always from this book。

Olivia takes on a new adventure in "helping out" the family with Christmas。 The tailless piglet is again portrayed through slightly minimalist black， white， and grey renderings with pops of red， but this time with a Christmas green added in as well。 Olivia tries to help out the family with household activities by entangling herself in lights， cutting off the top of the family Christmas tree， and feeding her baby brother a blueberry pie that he quickly spits-up all over the kitchen floor。 Olivia Olivia takes on a new adventure in "helping out" the family with Christmas。 The tailless piglet is again portrayed through slightly minimalist black， white， and grey renderings with pops of red， but this time with a Christmas green added in as well。 Olivia tries to help out the family with household activities by entangling herself in lights， cutting off the top of the family Christmas tree， and feeding her baby brother a blueberry pie that he quickly spits-up all over the kitchen floor。 Olivia also is seen keeping a close lookout for Santa's arrival by looking out their window into realistic snapshots of the outside environment， manning the fireplace， and checking outside her bedroom window for suspicious activity。 The book carries the same illustrative and similar literacy stylings as the original Olivia; however， this Christmas version utilizes more color， words， and pages than it's first。 The reader can take note of the reliance the words have towards the pictures as Falconer is short and purposefully vague in writing and loudly telling with considerable illustrations。 The book overall has an illustrative and subtle comical appeal for readers to appreciate and possibly take a second look back at the book。 The now five-member pig family is also seen smiling a bit more than the first tale， perhaps due to the Christmas holiday。 Overall the book is a frolicsome and artistic tale of Olivia the ballet-loving and possibly unknowingly-mischievous piglet enjoying a family Christmas and "helping out" her loved ones in a not so helpful， but appreciated way。 。。。more

“Olivia Helps with Christmas” is a cute book about a young pig named Olivia。 In this book， she helps her family prepare for the beloved holiday。 The setting of the book takes place on Christmas Eve。 One aspect that I enjoyed about this book is her desire to help her family with decorations and chores。 This is something that I would love to show my classroom。 Being respectful and helpful are both important qualities。 I would like to read this book to my students and then have them write down what “Olivia Helps with Christmas” is a cute book about a young pig named Olivia。 In this book， she helps her family prepare for the beloved holiday。 The setting of the book takes place on Christmas Eve。 One aspect that I enjoyed about this book is her desire to help her family with decorations and chores。 This is something that I would love to show my classroom。 Being respectful and helpful are both important qualities。 I would like to read this book to my students and then have them write down what they enjoy about winter break and the holidays。 One of the Common Core standards is to “use linking words and phrases （e。g。， because， therefore， since， for example） to connect opinion and reasons” CCSS。ELA-Literacy。W。3。1。c。 This is a good standard to use for this activity because it requires the students to give more detail。 They might love the snow because they can go skiing。 The word because allowed for more information to be added to the sentence。 。。。more

Olivia helps with Christmas， by Ian Falconer 。 This book is about a little girl Olivia trying to help out her parents before Christmas and Christmas Day。 It depicts all the highs and lows and patience needed by the parents of having an excited child try to help during a very busy time of the year。 I think I would love to keep this book in my classroom mainly for the cute story but also because the character is a good role model and it is perfect for the holiday season。

Olivia puts a smile on my face。 I wonder if I would have liked these books as a child。 I like the art。 The use of color。 And the limited number of words on each page 。。。 yet there are enough of them to tell the story。 And I like snouts and trotters。

Very cute！ I forgot how great and hilarious Olivia is。 My kids grew up before she became popular and boy did we miss a lot。 Love her Christmas centerpiece and her singing Christmas carols！

Not my favorite Olivia book， but I had to add this one to our Christmas collection since my son loves so many of her other stories so much。

I have seen the idea of reading one Christmas book a night for the 24 days of December leading up to Christmas many times online。 Now that little Georgie is here， I wanted to start doing it， but I didn’t want to buy 24 Christmas books。 Library to the rescue！This was our debut book tonight and we started off with a bang！ I love Olivia books and this one did not disappoint。 I was laughing out loud on several occasions while Ken read this to George and me during George’s bedtime bottle， and I even I have seen the idea of reading one Christmas book a night for the 24 days of December leading up to Christmas many times online。 Now that little Georgie is here， I wanted to start doing it， but I didn’t want to buy 24 Christmas books。 Library to the rescue！This was our debut book tonight and we started off with a bang！ I love Olivia books and this one did not disappoint。 I was laughing out loud on several occasions while Ken read this to George and me during George’s bedtime bottle， and I even made him go back and read parts because they were so funny。 Very highly recommended and I’m hoping Scholastic book orders sells this bad boy！！！ 。。。more

I thought this book was quite charming。 I know that it speaks to a lot of children’s anticipation about Christmas Day。 I understand how Olivia feels about putting up the lights。 I was never any good at it either。 However， it reminded me of how fun the Christmas season can be。Genre: modern fantasy Grades: PreK-2

Hyperactive porcine heroine Olivia returns in this fifth picture-book devoted to her continuing adventures， this time "helping" her family prepare for Christmas， as she eagerly awaits the arrival of Santa Claus。 Whether it's detangling the Christmas tree lights， or setting the table for dinner， Olivia has her own way of doings things - a way that often leads to hilarity。 In the end， despite some missteps， Christmas in Olivia's family is full of love and warmth。。。Author/illustrator Ian Falconer c Hyperactive porcine heroine Olivia returns in this fifth picture-book devoted to her continuing adventures， this time "helping" her family prepare for Christmas， as she eagerly awaits the arrival of Santa Claus。 Whether it's detangling the Christmas tree lights， or setting the table for dinner， Olivia has her own way of doings things - a way that often leads to hilarity。 In the end， despite some missteps， Christmas in Olivia's family is full of love and warmth。。。Author/illustrator Ian Falconer continues to demonstrate an almost flawless grasp of picture-book creation in Olivia Helps with Christmas， which pairs beautiful and humorous artwork with an engaging， entertaining tale。 Anyone who recalls the eager anticipation they felt， in the days leading up to Christmas， will recognize a bit of themselves in Olivia， as she continually keeps a look-out for Santa Claus。 I found myself giggling at many of the scenes here， whether it was of Olivia helplessly tangled up in the lights - I've struggled to deal with Christmas tree lights myself！ - or of the family dog Perry eating the treats left out for Santa。 Recommended to anyone who has read and enjoyed other stories about Olivia， as well as to anyone looking for fun Christmas tales that capture the childhood magic of the holiday。 。。。more
