if you have ever seen the parent trap then you really don't need to read this book. however, my daughter really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a good book for beginner readers.

This is such a cute book about a little girl named Olivia who finds out she has a twin identical to her! Her twin is the princess of Olivia’s town and they actually switch lives for a day! Of course, Olivia enjoys her day as the princess but she goes home afterwards and switches back to her real life! This was such a cute story!

A funny story of two identical pigs who swap places. Florence wouldn’t like to be a princess - she would choose to stay with her family.

This book is about an ordinary girl named Olivia who meets a princess named Stephanie. They both look at each other and realized that they look a lot alike, the only difference being their ear size and freckles. The princess and Olivia wonder what it would be like to switch places for the day and so they do

One thing essential to this book is the illustration. Every picture is vibrant and very detailed. If you were to get rid of the words from the book you would still be able to tell what is going on in the story. Also the pictures are more simple throughout so it is easy to follow along.

Lots of childrens book have messages in them and themes that help for learning. I believe that this book is simply a book fun to read and for entertainment. Young girls would especially get into this book because of the use of animals and princesses.

I love Olivia but only as she is portrayed by her creator, Ian Falconer. Falconer's Olivia is quirky and sassy, but this Nick Jr.-inspired book made Olivia BORING! How many more books do we need about little girls being princesses? There is nothing new here.

Great for younger children who have seen the show. This book was very predicitable to me. Reminded me of The Parent Trap. A little girl wanted to see what it was like to be a princess. A princess wanted to see what it was like to have a normal life. Not going to be used in the classroom.

I am not a big fan of Olivia books, but many children seem to love them. This book does not have a very good story line, but it will intrege little girls becuase it discusses princesses.

Spanish review. Cute, but just like all the prince and the pauper remakes. I don't really know much about Olivia, but I think she's cuter than some other kid story characters.

this was definitely picked by the preschooler at the library, but it turned out to be slightly better than I thought it would be. not great, but some of the Disney princess books are 10x worse

I'm less taken with this Olivia book than others. The lesson learned is that it's ok to switch places as long as it doesn't go for more than a day. There should have been consequences.
