Counting down to Christmas with a new holiday book each day!
Olivia Helps with Christmas
This was the first Olivia book I ever read, and I was thoroughly charmed by it! Olivia is excited about Christmas and wants to help with the preparations but (as with most children) the skill and good judgement just isn’t there. For instance, she tries so hard to untangle the tree lights, but the result is…
Two-page spread from OLIVIA HELPS WITH CHRISTMAS. (Click to enlarge.)
She also feeds her baby brother (LOVE that page!), sets the table, sings Christmas carols, puts out milk and cookies, and tries to go to sleep so Santa can come. It’s the illustrations that really shine in this amusing book, so if you’re sharing it with a group make sure everyone has a good view.
Olivia has her own webpage complete with activities, information about all the Olivia books, and more information about the author/illustrator. You can also join the Olivia Fan Club!
You may want to download the Olivia Event Kit, although it’s not related to this particular book.
