Summary: Olivia is a little pig who plays soccer in a big, ugly, green shirt. She wants to look different from the rest of the team, so she asks her mother to make her a red shirt to replace her green one. Her mother makes her red shirt, and Olivia had just lost her toy. She acts as if it is the end of the world because that is her favorite toy. She need her toy now! She looked everywhere. As Olivia yells while finding her toy, the text get bigger and bigger on the page. Olivia finds her toy, and she gets upset. Soon enough, she can't stay mad forever.
I would use this story to read to the class for reading time in the younger grades. This is a great book for young kids. We could even do an activity where they color their own shirt, so they can be different from the rest of the team.
