If you have children you are probably quite familiar with the {award-winning} Olivia book series. My daughter is a huge fan and we own the whole series of books! My daughter loves Olivia's love for life and her vivid imagination! Nickelodeon has turned the book series {written and illustrated by Ian Falconer} into a great show which my daughter is also a huge fan of. We were sent a press copy of Olivia: Princess for a Day to review and lets just say it has been playing non-stop since we received it!
A bit about Olivia
Based on acclaimed author/illustrator Ian Falconer's award-winning titles, Olivia follows a 6¾-year-old dynamo who believes she can do anything and sees every day as an opportunity to try new things. Her vivid imagination takes her on grand adventures, both real and fantasy, and like all children, her antics occasionally result in endearing misadventures. Olivia’s confidence and positive nature inspires kids everywhere to think boldly and follow their dreams.
Although Olivia’s adventures in her imagination are larger than life, the challenges in her day-to-day life are preschool size. Olivia’s unique ways of dealing with these challenges provide moments of fun and drama. She demonstrates how kids can use their imagination to work out what’s happening in their own world. Kids can relate to Olivia because she experiences the same daily trials and triumphs as they do. Every day is a “Big Day” for Olivia; her exuberance is contagious as she takes viewers along for the ride!
My Review
Olivia: Princess for a Day features eight Olivia episodes that are sure to keep you and your children entertained. In Olivia: Princess for a Day Olivia trades places with a Princess that is visiting her. Olivia gets to experience what it's like to be 'royalty' first hand from riding in a carriage to living in a castle. Olivia: Princess for a Day was by far my daughters favorite episode out of the eight included on the DVD {it might be because my daughter thinks she is a Princess!}. My daughter kept commenting about how she is going to ride in a carriage someday...etc. It is fun to see my daughter using her imagination just like Olivia. I love that Olivia shows confidence and determination and that she doesn't take no for an answer...{you go girl pig!}. I highly recommend this DVD it is fun, educational, entertaining and perfect for a rainy day!
Olivia: Princess for a Day will be available for purchase on September 6th, 2011.
