My son LOVES the Olivia books, therefore we love this CD. I think we enjoy it more because we have read all of the books, "know" Olivia's sense of humor, and can picture the beautiful illustrations from the books, whereas children who have not read the books might miss some of the story since many times the humor is found in how the story is tied to the illustrations. It is frequently requested during car rides or while falling asleep at night by my 3 year old. It is relatively short, but I believe it actually contains all of the "real" Olivia books. Keep in mind, these go with the books, not the Olivia television show.
Our kids were well entertained for hours. They love to listen to the stories while we drove or while they wer playing.
Dame Edna is wonderful, but she reads the book. What's wrong with that? The Olivia books rely on funny pictures as a part of the narrative and if you are simply listening to someone read them, no matter how well, you miss much of the story and much of the humor. For this format they should have been rewritten so that what happens in the pictures is described to the listener. Very disappointing, and kind of a ripoff.
I wish I had realized it was just CD's as we don't have these Olivia books. Now I need four more books to make the cd's worth buying.
it is excellent for kids who are just starting to read. also, for non english speakers kids, to start learning english almost as their mother tongue.
Bought it for a friend as a present. We've watched Olivia's shows and we love it. Olivias stories are great for 2,3,4 and 5 years old kids.
Darling adventures of Olivia that my young kids love to listen to in the car. Parents will like changing it up from music CDs.
