　　這隻榮獲凱迪克獎的小豬Olivia，在她剛出現在書店裡時便引起一陣瘋狂。不僅兒童會愛上她，許多成人也被她的魅力深深吸引。究竟Olivia是一隻怎樣神通廣大的小豬呢？

　　Olivia擅長很多東西，她最擅長的是把人們(包括她自己)弄得筋疲力盡。她有個老愛黏著她的弟弟。她穿衣時要試過每一件衣服。她不喜歡睡午覺。她喜歡芭蕾舞者的畫。她睡前總是要媽媽唸故事。Olivia其實是生活中隨時會遇見的孩童。

　　插畫家Ian Falconer以極其詼諧的筆法，勾勒出這隻可愛小豬誇張的表情和動作。插圖中以黑白紅三色為基調，純熟的漫畫線條搭配陰影效果，使造型格外顯眼。Olivia是一本必須同時閱讀圖文的繪本，往往在簡單的敘述外，插圖已呈現出更多令人捧腹的情節。

Have fun with Olivia...

dressing up
singing songs
building sand castles
napping (maybe)
dancing
painting on walls
and—whew!—
going to sleep at last.

　　Whether at home getting ready for the day, enjoying the beach, or at bedtime, Olivia is a feisty pig who has too much energy for her own good.

作者簡介

　　Stage designer and artist Ian Falconer didn't initially set out to write books for children, but an impromptu gift for his young niece became the adored Olivia series. "She's not really a bratty character, but she does get away with a lot," Ian Falconer admits in our video interview when describing the precocious piglet that stars in his bestselling books.
