See Our Summer
Books to Watch!
by Ian Falconer
Everyone's
favorite Caldecott-winning porcine diva
is back and with fanfare! There are
going to be fireworks tonight, and
Olivia can hardly wait to hear the band.
But when she finds out that there isn't
going to be a band, she can't understand
why not. How can there be fireworks
without a band?! And so Olivia sets to
putting a band together herself...all by
herself. Using pots, pans, her brother's
toys, and even her father's suspenders,
Olivia forms a band spectacular enough
to startle any audience. Lavishly
brought to life in Ian Falconer's
signature style, and introducing an
eye-catching shade of blue, here is
Olivia doing what Olivia does best --
making noise.
"Another crowd-pleasing performance for
the porcine starlet and her creator." -

"So consummately consistent are
Falconer's characterizations and so
perceptive are Olivia's constant fans,
that every deft facial nuance will be
met with squeals of approval" - Kirkus.
