“In our house, we love Olivia, and this is a solid addition to the Olivia series! My daughter's favorite thing about this book is perusing all the different princess costumes from different time periods and around the world. To be honest, it doesn't get pulled off the shelf nearly as often as the original Olivia book, but that's setting a high bar for comparison.”
