Very cute. Audiobook narrated by Dame Edna herself. Enjoy! (

Love all of these Olivia books. I love the illustrations they are so eye catching. I think this book is perfect for kindergarten and up. Olivia is a confident pig who struggles with the same emotions and problems as a kid. (

Olivia is a true go-getter. When she hears there won't be a band at the picnic, she decides to form her own one-pig band. Olivia shows you can make great things happen with the things you already have...and a little imagination! (

I like this book because it teaches students how to make the best of what they have. Olivia made a band out of her family because she knew that there would not be a band at the picnic she was going to. She made them uniforms and everything. She just teaches you that if you want something then you should make it happen. You can do and be anything you want to be. (
