Olivia is back! And she’s even better than before. Everyone loves Olivia.
In this book, Olivia is very upset as she is having an identity crisis. Who does she want to be? Everyone else wants to be pretty pink fairy princesses. Why can’t everyone be different? Why pink? Why not an Indian or Chinese princess?
After Olivia’s mum reads her some bed time stories, Olivia goes to bed. But she can't sleep. Who does she want to be?
Maybe she could be… or even… but then it all seems so clear!
'I know!'
Olivia and the Fairy Princesses has (as always) incredible illustrations. They really complete the book, and they make me laugh out loud. I love the colours used as they are so simple but they tell the story even better than if they were many various colours. The pictures added in with the cartoons create a really nice effect.
The author has yet again nailed it. Everything from head to toe is perfect, and Olivia and the Fairy Princesses is yet another amazing Olivia book.
