[ 책 소개 ]
* Caldecott상 수상작
* Parents' Choice? Gold Award 수상작
작가 Ian Falconer는 "The New Yorker magazine"의 표지 Illustration을 여러차례 했으며, 뉴욕시립발레단, 샌프란시스코 오페라, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden 등 유명한 오페라 및 발레의 의상 및 무대디자인을 담당한 거장입니다. 이 책은 그가 처음으로 만든 어린이 그림책인데, 놀랍게도 첫 작품이 Caldecott상을 받는 영예를 누렸습니다.
이 책에 주로 등장하는 색은 세가지 입니다. 흰 색, 검은 색, 빨간 색. 그리고 소녀 돼지 올리비아가 바닷가에서 선탠을 한 후 하얀 몸 색깔이 분홍으로 바뀐 장면만 유일한 예외이지요. 모든 면에서 욕심이 많고 잘하려고 노력하는 올리비아. 하지만 역시 엄마, 동생 등 주변사람을 피곤하게 만들기도 하지요. 마치 우리의 미운 일곱살 아이들 처럼...
엄마 루즈를 입술에 바르고, 남동생 돼지가 있는데 누나가 하는 것은 모두 따라하려고 하니까, 귀찮다고 놀래켜서 쫓아버리기도 합니다.
수영장에서 완전 무장한 올리비아 모습, 낮잠자기 싫다고 떼쓰는 모습, 무대위의 발레리나가 된 자기자신을 상상하는 모습... 우리네 아이들의 모습이어서 공감이 가지요. 미술관에서 추상화(Jackson Pollock의 Autumn Rhythm #30)를 보고 와서는 방안 벽을 온통 추상화 캔버스로 만들어 버리는 올리비아... 그러나 잠잘 시간이 되자 엄마에게 책을 한 권이라도 더 읽어 달라고 떼를 씁니다. 책을 다 읽어준 후 엄마는 올리비아를 꼭 껴안고 속삭입니다. "너는 나를 정말 힘들게 하지만, 그래도 나는 너를 사랑한단다." 올리비아도 엄마에게 속삭이지요 "I love you anyway too."
독창적이고, 단순하면서도 아름다운 책입니다. 읽으면 읽을수록 더 재미가 있어요.
튼튼한 | 닫기x |  What is 하드커버?
양장본이라고도 불리우며, 표지가 단단한 판지로 만들어진 책입니다.
판지를 천이나 가죽으로 감싸기도 합니다. 책의 속지는 일반적으로 중성처리된 종이(Acid-free paper)를 사용해서 잘 변질이 되지 않기 때문에 오랫동안 보관하기에 적합합니다. 이 종류의 책은 더스트 재킷, 또는 더스트 커버로 불리는 표지덮개가 함께 있는 경우가 많습니다. 간혹 내부 속지가 콩기름 코팅이 된 경우 고약한 냄새가 나는 책도 있습니다.

Book Description
Whether at home getting ready for the day, enjoying the beach, or at bedtime, Olivia is a feisty pig who has too much energy for her own good.
School Library Journal
From the articles of clothing strewn across the front endpapers of this droll account of Olivia's escapades, readers may surmise that this porcine heroine is no ordinary youngster. Olivia is constantly on the move, dreaming big dreams and meeting every challenge head-on. She doesn't just get dressed, she tries on every outfit in the closet. She doesn't just dance, she envisions herself as a prima ballerina bowing before an adoring audience. When her mother teaches her to build sand castles, Olivia creates a towering structure that closely resembles the Chrysler Building in New York City. When she views a Jackson Pollack painting in the museum, she immediately concludes that she can do better and proceeds to try her hand at painting a wall at home. Her efforts earn her time out and a bath. The text is brief, funny, and sometimes ironic in relation to the highly amusing illustrations. The only touches of color in the pictures, executed in charcoal and gouache, are the bright reds of the clothing or objects used by Olivia. There are often many renderings of the young pig on each large white background, effectively demonstrating her boundless energy. Even at day's end, she is still going strong, negotiating the number of books to be read at bedtime. For a lively storyhour featuring feisty females, pair this with Kevin Henkes's stories about Lilly.
Publishers Weekly
Come one, come all for this extraordinary debut for both Falconer and his unforgettable porcine heroine. The author/artist begins this day-in-the-life tale with a kind of behind-the-scenes peek at Olivia. Articles from her wardrobe are strewn across the endpapers-red tights, red sunglasses, a red T-shirt and red tank top-until the title page reveals her selection: a red sailor dress with black-and-white striped tights. "This is Olivia./ She is good at lots of things," the narrator begins, like an emcee introducing the star of the show. The genius of the volume is its economy: the brief text brilliantly plays off the artwork, rendered only in shades of red and black with an occasional background setting; a deceptively simple design unifies each spread. For one such spread, demonstrating "She is very good at wearing people out," Falconer shows Olivia engaged in a variety of activities in 13 black-and-white vignettes, using red sparingly-for a hammer handle, a yo-yo, a ball, a mixing bowl spatula and a jump rope-as she progresses from energetic to spent. Against a completely white background, these vignettes seem to bob on invisible undulating waves, with the intermittent splashes of red creating a sense of movement and urgency-until Olivia's collapse at the lower right-hand corner of the spread beneath a single line of text ("She even wears herself out"). The few full scenes amplify the deadpan humor: a beach setting allows for the full impact of Olivia's spectacular sandcastle model of the Empire State Building; a full-bleed black-and-white image of a tutu- and tiara-clad Olivia bowing to unseen fans answers the narrator's question "What could she be thinking?" as she stares at her favorite painting, featuring Degas's ballerinas, in a museum. Whether in full scenes or vignettes, Falconer keeps the focus on his inimitable protagonist. He clearly understands his audience: a standout spread shows Olivia getting dressed in her red-only wardrobe ("She has to try on everything") in 17 separate fashion poses. Falconer's choice to suggest Olivia with a minimum of details and a masterful black line allows readers to really identify with her-no doubt, they will. There's a little bit of Olivia in everyone.
From Parents' Choice?
Talk about charisma! Olivia, an irresistible young pig of boundless energy, has it in spades. In this her premiere appearance, we discover that red is her favorite color, that her younger brother Ian is a pest, and that she can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art most rainy days. It may not be much. But she leaves us clamoring for more. This is also a first picture book appearance by her creator. Falconer is a welcome breath of fresh air. A 2000 Parents' Choice? Gold Award.
Booklist
Olivia, a delightful little pig, is Everychild. She's good at lots of things, especially wearing people out--including herself. When she gets dressed, she tries on everything; at night she's ready to go to sleep, but only after four stories. She's a kissing cousin to Kevin Henkes' Lilly. Unlike the Lilly books, there's no real plot here, and that's too bad. But the spacious design of the book; the appeal of the strong, clever art; and the humor that permeates every page make this a standout anyway. Falconer, a painter and New Yorker cover artist, renders Olivia's world in charcoal with dollops of red brightening the pages. Playing dress-up, Olivia stands in front of a mirror wearing red heels, red lipstick, and a red bow tying up her ears. (Little brother, Ian, the copycat, stands behind her, lipstick smearing his mouth and shirt.) When Olivia gets dressed, it's a two-page spread of her in a red ballerina dress, a red bikini, red earmuffs and mittens, a red ball gown--17 outfits in all. The oversize pictures can be seen clearly in story hours, but pouring over them more than once may be the most fun of all: kids will see themselves in Olivia.
