Olivia and the Fancy Party
by Cordelia Evans, illustrated by Shane L. Johnson
Ages 3-5 24 pages Simon Spotlight July 2014 Paperback    

Olivia’s best friend, Francine, has invited Olivia to a party. Convinced that it will be a fancy gathering, Olivia decides to brush up on her manners. She wants to be the “perfect guest,” so the little white pig gets a copy of The Big Book of Manners and begins reading.

After she hones her manners to the point where she will certainly be the “perfect guest,” Olivia is off to Francine’s house. Imagine her surprise to discover that the party isn’t as “fancy” as she imagined. Now what? Well, this perfect guest knows just what to do, and all works out perfectly!

There’s plenty of text to this story to hold the interest of an older child--plus, in her own way, the indomitable Olivia underscores the behavior one would expect of the “perfect guest.” Told with humor and featuring a captivating set of illustrations that follow the tale’s development, this little book will work nicely as an advanced reader or just a story book for a child who isn’t a proficient reader yet. Either way, it is a winner!
