In her latest adventure, Olivia, everyone's favourite little pig, is off the Venice, the place of fine art, carnival and gondolas for a family holiday to remember.

"Timeless in its appeal, modern and original in concept, Ian Falconer has created a wonderful character in Olivia." The Bookseller
"Olivia positively bounces off the pages." Junior Education
"winsomely charming, stripey-suited little pig and Canaletto's watery city successfully combine to make a witty picture book for the threes-plus...A gem among picture books, both parents and tiny will read this again and again." Newbury Weekly News, 7 Oct 10
"If you haven't met the delightfully opinionated pig Olivia yet, you're in for a treat!" Red House Nov 10
"If pigs could fly, they'd vacation in Italy. Or at least Olivia would. After a hiatus of several years, Ian Falconer's rambunctious, curly-tailed heroine is back, and -look out, world!-this time she has a passport. In her latest escapade, "Olivia Goes to Venice," the piglet leads her family on a spree through the City of Bridges, with frequent pit stops for gelato. They wander among palazzos and canals. They enjoy a gondola ride. They get mobbed by a Hitchcockian flock of pigeons in the Piazza San Marco. Through it all, Olivia runs the show, until her search for the perfect souvenir shop quite literally brings down the house...Both geographically and artistically, "Olivia Goes to Venice" is new territory for Falconer. His palette, which broadened over the last few Olivia books to include shades of blue, yellow and green, slides into full color. In a nod to set design, he pulls in a series of backdrops: hand-colored photographs of Venice that emphasize the city's jaw-dropping architecture." The New York Times Book Review, 16th January 2011.
"Olivia positively bounces off the pages." Junior Education
