When it comes time to tell the class what she did on her vacation, Olivia isn't at all nervous. In fact, she remembers it quite clearly--she went to the circus, you see. "But when we got there, all the circus people were out sick with ear infections." What are the odds? But the show must go on! Fortunately, Olivia jumps right in to help 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's 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 worm wriggling out of an apple looks a lot like a fingertip, and the toe peeking out of a threadbare sock looks just like a thumb in My New Friends, by Karin Blume and Brigitte Pokornik, one of two interactive volumes in the Funny Fingers board book series. Die-cut holes are sized and placed in the pictures so that one to four fingers fit, making the brightly hued illustrations come pointedly to life. The same author/artists also pitch Circus, in which daring digits make their big top debut.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
