Olivia and the Fairy Princesses by Ian Falconer
4.0
One of the best Olivia books, I think, and that's saying a lot!
Olivia is growing more and more irritated over how her age-mates, "including some of the boys," are all about dressing as fairy princesses. In pink. She does her best to come up with alternatives, and darn awesome ones too! Her parents' responses are realistic and highly amusing.
The art is perfect Olivia, especially facial expressions (just for one example, Olivia's brothers when they submit to her nursing ministrations).
The ending--well, no spoilers. Let's just say it's highly appropriate in many ways.
An incredible treat for the picture book set, whether they're Olivia fans or not--even for little fairy princesses of any gender.
