picture book travel: olivia goes to venice by ian falconer

In just one more day, my third grader and my preschooler are officially done with school for the year!  

Congratulations to all the educators/moms/dads/aunts/uncles/grandparents/caregivers out there for surviving another school year!  You deserve a fancy trip to Venice, Italy, bossy and sassy little pig named Olivia optional.  

I love Olivia!  Yes, she can be a little bit of a complainer and more than a little bit of a bossy pants, but she is smart and sassy and girl knows what she wants.  Olivia and her family tour Venice for spring vacation, and we get to tour right along with them - palazzos and bridges over canals, gondolas, gelato, fancy masks, more gelato.  I love how the pictures mix illustrations of the pig family with actual photographs of Venice.  

Thanks for stopping by today!  Are you celebrating the end of the school year too?  Even if you can't make it to Venice to celebrate, gelato tastes just as good on a porch swing in Tennessee as it does on a Venetian gondola.  You've earned it!
