Olivia (French language version) (French Edition) ReviewI love a children's book that begins the story on the end pages (located just inside the covers). How creative! What fun! That's just where Ian Falconer begins his story of Olivia, my favorite children's book character.
Olivia is the child you want, but fear having--creative, impulsive, talented, energetic, headstrong, in other words, too much personality, a difficult and gifted child. At the same time you love her anyway!
Falconer has cleverly chosen to draw Olivia in black and white and add touches of one bright color. In this, his first Olivia book, he chose red. One thing about Olivia is that she wears people out with her antics, even herself. One of the best scenes is the one where she tries on ALL her clothes--all red pieces--dresses, purses, hats, undies, tops, muffs, sneakers, backpacks, caps, bikinis, and one pair of gray panty hose.
Today the family goes to the beach where Olivia makes a sand castle that looks like a skyscraper ("She got pretty good"). After Olivia sunburns, they go home. She refuses to nap. Her mother takes her to museums on rainy days where she studies paintings by Degas and, of course, dreams of being the ballerina. At the Jackson Pollock painting, she declares she could do that in five minutes and does so when she gets home (much to Mom's chagrin).
That night her mother reads to her a story about Maria Callas (notice how Falconer works in cultural elements?).
"When it's time to stop, Olivia's mother gives her a kiss and says, 'You know, you really wear me out. But I love you anyway.'
"And Olivia gives her a kiss back and says, 'I love you anyway, too.'" Then dreams of being an opera star.Olivia (French language version) (French Edition) OverviewOlivia est une petite fille comme toutes les autres. Enfin pas exactement puisque son illustrateur a choisi de la représenter par une petite cochonne. Il n'empêche. Comme les autres petites filles, Olivia est forcément douée. Et surtout douée pour épuiser tout le monde.Ce qu'elle aime, voyez-vous (mais je sais que vous voyez bien), c'est s'agiter en tout sens, peindre (en s'inspirant de Jackson Pollock, s'il vous plaît), danser, chanter, bronzer et ne pas se laisser envahir par son petit frère.
