Summary: Being the busy little pig that Olivia is, she is hurrying to get ready for Santa to come on Christmas Eve. Olivia helps her mom hang the stockings and make the cookies for Santa to eat when he arrives. She eagerly waits and wants to wait downstairs to see Santa. Once she finally listens to her mom and goes up to bed (which seems like forever to fall asleep), she wakes up to see Santa has eaten the cookies and left presents. There is an illustration with a cute puppy going "burp" leads the reader to believe that the puppy might have had something to do with the missing cookies... Olivia uses the top of the tree to place her bright and shiny star upon. Olivia Helps With Christmas is a delightful read with simple yet delicate black and white illustrations with sudden pops of Christmas color.
