Summary: Olivia is at once a fashion designer, dancer, architect, artist, and big sister. And she's quite precocious. Olivia is charming, cultured, and yet she acts just like a child. She is a busy pig with a big imagination and yet a kind heart and a good child.
Extension Activity: This extension activity would be for the kids to make pigs out of colored rice. They could choose whatever colors they wanted and have their pigs doing any activity they wanted not just sitting; so like Olivia, they were very busy pigs!
