Olivia Goes to Venice
Ian Falconer (1959–)
Olivia Goes to Venice
New York: Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2010
Falconer, of New Yorker cartoon fame, sends his
precocious pig over to the Boot, specifically the magical Venice. Copious amounts of gelato are consumed as she gets lost in the floating city, enjoys a gondola ride, and sighs over bridges. Pick this one up to see what “special” souvenir she finds to remember her spring break vacation. Viva Olivia!
