2 booktalks

Booktalk #1

Olivia has lots of energy.  She is especially good at wearing people out!  When she gets dressed, she has to try on everything.  She isn't happy with just one story -- she wants four!  Are you a little bit like Olivia?

Booktalk #2

Olivia, the pig, loves life.  She loves to sing, to dress-up, to go to the beach, to make sand castles, to dance and to paint.  This Caldecott Honor book is alive with Olivia's energy and imagination.  (Jean Bellavance bellavance@erols.com for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2003)

SUBJECTS:     Pigs -- Fiction.
