I bought this book for my almost three year old daughter because she has shown an intrest in learning about opposites and we both love Olivia. My main complaint about this book is the same one I have for Olivia's counting. There are no new pictures of Olivia in this book. All of the pictures come from Ian Falconer's previous two story books Olivia and Olivia at the Circus. It seems like Mr. Falconer didn't feel like putting forth anything new for his two Olivia board books. Anyone hoping to get a further glimpse into Olivia's personality will not find it here. I am somewhat supprised that he chose to make such a simple opposites book when the original Olivia storybooks are for more sophisticated. That said the opposites are good simple ones that young children will understand for example up/down, quiet/loud, and my favorite plain/fancy (hadn't thought to teach my daughter that one). I think that this book is best for very young children. If your child is able to understand the two full length Olivia storybooks than there are better opposite books out there. Check out Chuck Murphy's Opposites if you have a preschooler. It is an interactive experience.
We got this for our son when he was 3 months old, and this is absolutely his favorite book. We're not sure why, but this book has the power to calm him down almost any (and I mean any) time we read it to him. I think it may be because of the great pictures. We purchased this book before any of the other Olivia books and I think that's what the intention was; this book introduces younger kids to Olivia, before they're ready for the other books. As a result, we weren't disappointed at all and in fact are looking forward to the day when our son doesn't rip apart regular books so we can try the other Olivia stories.
LOVE this book!! Everyone is upset because the drawings were taken from his other 2 books, but that is how children learn...through repitition. My 2 year old reads it to me...we laugh a lot, especially at the "plain/fancy" pic's. with all the lipstick & pearls. So cute! Who would have thought of that one. Check out Olivia counts book too...7 accessories, how adorable!!!
Board books are great for my toddler that loves to flip through books. This one only has one word per page along with an illustration (minus one double page that shows two words per page). I thought this was ok until I saw the Sandra Boynton Opposites book that shows opposites and illustrations but puts them into a rhyme pattern while you read. It makes the "story" flow a lot better and much more enjoyable to read. The only good point is that these are more durable than the Sandra Boynton books. They are used the same throughout the day and the covers have withstood playing and reading time whereas the Boynton covers are losing the cover's color at the binding.
My 3 year old grandchild loves this as the pictures come from other Olivia books and she likes to identify their origin as we read. She also is beginning to read and likes the simple format with words she can read from memory. Certainly not a good book for older kids as there is no story line- as with most of these types of books.
Do you know what opposites are? What is your favorite opposite?Olivia is the star of the show in these books. In this book, the author, Ian Falconer, has Olivia discussing and showing opposites. My favorite opposites are fat/skinny, big/ little, talk/short and in/out. Olivia appears in red dresses or red pants or red shorts. Sometimes her favorite colors change,must like ours do.Parents/children will enjoy reading this book to their children. The children will learn about opposites,band may think of their own gpfavorite opposites. This is the perfect time to talk about opposites with their friends and families. The illustrations by Ian a Falconer are beautiful and colorful, depicting all of Olivia's antics, and she has many. A fun book for the family to read.Recommended. prisrob 06-09-15
One of my daughter Olivia's favorite books as a little one. Hopefully it will be her cousin's favorite too! We are spreading the love of Olivia the Pig and her super independent personality. A must have for all children's bookshelves!
I can't explain the somewhat tepid reviews for this board book. It is compelling, a must-read you will not be able to put down (unless of course you are acting out the "down" page). You owe it to your toddler to get this book for bedtime, if only to puzzle out exactly how to explain "plain" and "fancy" to a two and a half year old. Good luck and enjoy!-Fred
