Olivia

Olivia by Ian Falconer

Olivia is a rambunctious young humanoid pig that is loaded with energy and opinions. She loves trying things (and can get really good and building sand castles.) She spends a long time picking out her clothes. After seeing a Jackson Pollock painting at the museum, she tries to paint a similar one herself - and gets in trouble. The art is fairly sparse, with mostly greys and red, but an occasional photograph of a real painting. Both the art and the story are refreshingly good for both adults and children.
