Olivia Goes to Venice by Ian Falconer


Olivia Goes to VeniceI thought perhaps with Olivia finding her way to television, we would see a downfall in the books. The latest Olivia tale proves that theory wrong. Falconer hasn't missed a beat in capturing all the beauty and splendor of Italy as well as of Olivia!

The mixed media illustrations give you a wonderful glimpse into this gorgeous city as well as depicting all of the joys that come with family vacations. I love the bit about always needing a gelato! It was making me hungry for some!

Check out Olivia’s latest adventure; you will not be disappointed. You may also want to combine it with an old favorite, Madeline for a look at Paris and possibly Eloise for an introduction to another adventuresome girl!
