(4) K-3 Illustrated by Debbie Tilley. Olive's exuberant individuality gets her into trouble, especially when she decides to "redecorate" the school principal's gloomy office by painting a rainforest scene on his desk. Outraged at first, he agrees to keep the desk if Olive promises to get permission before doing anything "different" in the future. Although the text is preachy, the illustrations are amusing and detailed and reflect Olive's energy.
