Olivia is a gorgeous little pig who likes to dress up, sing songs, dance, think, snooze and is even quite good at building sandcastles. At the end of the day, when she snuggles up in bed and her mother reads her a story (or three), Olivia feels very full of love. (source) This story is absolute...

This is a lovely childrens book. I personally love the end when the mother tell Olivia that she makes her so tired but she loves her so much. Reminds me of my kids.
