Dream Big [Bargain Price] [Hardcover]

Ian Falconer (Creator)

Book Description

 Dream Big, starring Olivia, is great for anyone looking for a new direction, encouragement, or for anyone starting a new chapter in life. Whether she's taming a lion or building a sandcastle as tall as a skyscraper, Olivia's boundless imagination and courageous spirit are an inspiration to all. Dream Big pairs more than 30 of Ian Falconer's illustrations with motivational musings from really big dreamers like Eleanor Roosevelt, Oscar Wilde, and Walt Disney.

The Olivia children's books are huge hits with children -- and their parents. The first book, Olivia (2000) was the event of the season in children's publishing. Two more books followed, Olivia Saves The Circus (2001) and Olivia...And The Missing Toy (2003), both repeating that success.

4.0 out of 5 stars Because you didn't know what you were buying, it's a low rating? Nice., April 30, 2006

Don't let the prior reviewer screw with your head. The book is exactly what it says it is: famous quotes paired with pictures you've already seen of Olivia. Is it groundbreaking? No. Is it a cute trifle to give to somebody as an inspirational bit? Sure. That's all it's supposed to be for.

This review is from: Dream Big (Olivia) (Hardcover)

My daughter recieved this book as a high school graduation gift. She loved it, I loved, we all loved it....so much that we have given copies of the book for graduation gifts. Not a story...simply an inspirational book with quotes from famous people that build character and challenge readers to follow their dreams.

This was such a wonderfully inspiring little book that I bought for all of my son's teachers. I am a teacher myself, and bought one for my co-workers, as well. Some are using the book in classrooms for writing prompts and other activities!
