 OLIVIA SERIES PRINTED IN CHINA!!!Apr 01, 2010
all simon and schuster published books are now printed in china. they use caustic inks, harmful to children, sweatshop type labor and putting many americans out of work. Ian Falconer, you should be ashamed of how your publisher does business to make an extra couple of cents. AMERICANS SHOULDN'T PURCHASE BOOKS PRINTED IN CHINA!!!
 Must read it with a voice of sarcasmFeb 12, 2010
Childrens books are aplenty, so what would distinguish one from another. For some its the pictures, for others it is the stories, and yet others, it might be the humor. I would the Olivia books into the last category. The drawings are simple and the stories are quite easy to follow. So the best thing about them is the humor, both in the pictures and in the text. This short book is about Olivia tracking down her missing toy, which was taken by her pet dog. Of course there is a happy ending, but getting there is quite interesting as Olivia accuses her siblings, cat, and other inanimate objects of taking her toy. Personally, I think the book is best read out loud to kids with a sarcastic voice; it maximizes the humor.
 Not good - plain and simpleJan 04, 2010
This book is all over the place and basically teaches children if they whine they will get whatever they want. (ie: Make me this shirt - and the mother does it immediately, my toy is broken - we'll buy you a new one, blah blah blah.) Olivia is a spoiled, pushy, liar.
I started out liking the Olivia series and now they are just off the shelves in our household. The illustrations are beautiful and I like the style - just hate the stories and the messages they promote.

The pictures are just right for my 19 month old grandson, IAN. He loves Olivia and anything associated with her. The contents and pictures kept his attention all the way through. He enjoys this book and other Olivia books over and over again.
 Olivia and the Lost Toy bookJul 05, 2009
Another in the Olivia collection. Came in perfect condition and it's another add to my daughter's collection. She is 30 years old and loves Olivia. These books are classics!
