This book is about Olivia the pig, and she is talking about how princesses aren't special anymore because for everything she's been to the girls(and sometimes boys) dress up as princesses. She went to a birthday party and everyone was dressed as princesses but her. She went to a ballet class and everyone was auditioning for the fairy princess role but her. She went to a halloween party and everyone was dressed as fairy princesses while she was dresses as a wart hog. She was always dressing up as something different and she felt wanting to be a princess wasn't something original anymore. She is trying to go to sleep, and she can't because she is too busy thinking about what to do about this situation. She decides that instead of being a princess, she wants to be a queen.
I thought this book was so cute and I actually want to share this with my children's literature class. I have this obsession with Olivia the pig anyways, because I share her name. I have just always loved Olivia because she shows children to do something different and to dare to be different.
Mischief Managed.
