Summary:
Olivia the energetic pig wanted to enjoy her day doing her most favorite things. The only thing in her way is the dreaded daily nap that has to happen...maybe. Only Mom can help ease her sleeping tensions by reading multiple children's stories. Olivia can finally fall asleep and dream.
Visual Element:
Despite going through the minimalist route, Falconer has been able to create an imaginative world for Olivia using texture to enhance the setting. By using texture, Olivia's sandcastle shows depth and immense size; her favorite image in the art museum seems to pop right out of the book! Through his subtle choices, Falconer has given the reader just the right amount of visual appeal to enjoy. Evaluative Criteria:
Falconer's illustrations have made Olivia enjoyable because they command attention. By choosing to keep his pages clean, colorless, and simple, the readers can enjoy and appreciate the beauty of the images he did choose to include.
