(More customer reviews)Not another soft toy, this: Olivia is a character from a small series of books about amazingly human-like girl-piglet. No exagerration there - Olivia stories are perhaps the most thoughtful, subtle and incisive illustrated books for children published in a decade.
The man behind the image of Olivia, Ian Falconer, is of theatre design background and not what you may call a trained children's book illustrator. Rather than illustrating a narrative, the stories are built around the image of Olivia, her mother and her brother - and the image itself is incredibly accomplished, perfected and developed in a remarkably professional way.
So it is amazing to see now how this image was transformed into the shape of a toy - make no mistake, this is not an easy task. You have probably seen many cartoon characters who became dull three-dimensional imitations of themselves when toys were made: a lifeless computer-generated shape, with no name other than "merchandise". That's all they are.
Olivia is different. She's beyond cute, and is likely to become one of your child's favorite cuddly toys, treasured for years and years.
