Description

When the entire performers at the circus are out ill with ear infections, it’s up to Olivia to save the day! That’s no problem for Olivia, of course, because she knows how to do the whole thing. From lion taming to trampoline jumping, unicycling to tight-rope walking, Olivia is the ultimate performer–with the ultimate imagination. Now in a board book edition perfect for little hands, readers will delight to see how Ringmaster Olivia learns to fly!
When it comes time to tell the class what she did on her vacation, Olivia is not at all nervous. Actually, she remembers it reasonably clearly–she went to the circus, you see. “But when we got there, the entire circus people were out ill with ear infections.” What are the odds? But the show will have to go on! Fortunately, Olivia jumps right in to lend a hand out–riding elephants, posing as the Tattooed Lady (she draws on the pictures with a marker), taming lions, walking tightropes, juggling, clowning around, and more. In a marvelous fold-out, four-panel spread, our porcine heroine even reigns supreme as the Queen of the Trampoline. “And that is the reason how I saved the circus. And now I am famous.” Olivia looks proud. Her teacher looks mad. Ian Falconer shines in this dryly hilarious sequel to his 2001 Caldecott Honor Book Olivia. The charcoal and gouache illustrations perfectly capture Olivia’s earnest expressions. Be prepared to be charmed anew! (Ages 4 to 8) –Karin Snelson
