(3) K-3 Stylish charcoal sketches strategically accented with red paint show the aspirations and misadventures of a determined little pig-girl. Although the story (more of a catalog, really) often seems to be winking at parents over their little ones' heads, the interplay of deadpan text ("Olivia gets dressed. She has to try on everything") and droll illustration (seventeen alternatives of what-shall-I-wear?) is pretty funny.
