In another addition to the Olivia series, Ian Falconer has written a charismatic account of everyone’s favourite family of pigs and their preparations for Christmas. As you follow the story, you can’t help but share the sense of anticipation that every child has on Christmas Eve. Indeed Olivia is so excited that in trying to help she often makes things worse for everyone in this chaotic, delightful and often hilarious story.
Everyone's favorite Caldecott honor-winning porcine and #1 Kris Cringle enthusiast is helping to make the season brighter than ever. Christmas is coming, and Olivia is incredibly busy. She has to wait for Santa, make sure dad sets up the tree, wait for Santa, watch mom make the Christmas dinner, wait for Santa, oversee the care with which the stockings are hung and, of course, OPEN HER PRESENTS! Do you see how hard it is to be so helpful during the holidays! A lovingly-told and lavishly-illustrated Olivia Helps With Christmas is the perfect stuffing for any stocking, and the newest star atop the Olivia series.
