Olive, the canine heroine, has found a one-of-a-kind object she just knows must be returned. A heart! And not just any heart, it's a huge heart. One that is as loving as Olive's is. Now, with the help of her friends, Handler the squirrel, Flea the flea, and Weaver the spider, Olive must find a way to return the heart to it's rightful owner. Her very good friend Dexter the dog.

In usual fashion, Vivian Walsh has woven a cute tale that is sure to please all young readers, especially around Valentine's Day, while J. Otto Seibold has created wonderful illustrations that bring the story to life. Olive is an adorable character, who could put a smile on anyone's face. Overall, this is a must-have book for your home, you won't be disappointed!

OLIVE is one of my family's favorite charaters, bar none. We have hundreds of books, but none have as much heart (wait til you read it) as this one. A MUST READ!! I took it into my classroom and now everyone wants to borrow it.

I absolutely love love love love this book. It is very funny. I wish Olive would come to my house. There is a spider in the book that can weave anything. It makes a web, a hammock, a slingshot and a parachute.

The Otto books are always clever and beautiful, thanks to it's artist/author. It's great to be able to read books to kids that aren't populated by fuzzy chicks and talking bunnies. Give me Olive, snappy graphics, good puns, irony. Otto, my love!

Olive and her cast of friends prove to be very imaginative in their quest of returning a lost heart. My daughter loves this book and it has become a regular nighttime read for us.

I have Olive the other Reindeer and wanted to get my son an Olive book for valentine's day. This book is cute although a little longer than I was expecting. It is a little bit strange but I would recommend it. It has a good message and is fun. I like the Christmas book better though.

Vivian Walsh has created the best characters in recent picture books. My favorite character in OLIVE MY LOVE is a fast-talking squirrel. This is how he introduces himself to Olive.
Olive hadn't gone far when she heard these four words.
"Stop! No! Don't go!"
Olive stopped.
"Stand clear of the rut!" instructed a squirrel.
Just then, down the rut rolled a nut.
The squirrel held it up to show Olive.
"Now I can say hello. Hello. My name is Handler."

The quality was good and it came in a timely manner. I was pleased.

My daughter, who teaches 4th grade, used 'Olive, My Love' for her class. Her class loved 'Olive, My Love'! Even 4th graders are not too old for Olive.

I am so pleased with the delivery. I ordered the book late Feb. 10th and it arrived at her school on Valentine's Day! Thank you, Amazon!

Purchased for my granddaughter - it is just perfect.
I was familiar with the book prior to ordering and found it easily on Amazon.com where shopping is always a great pleasure easy to shop - great service!
