Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Everyone's favorite piglet makes an encore appearance that finds her back at school after vacation. When called upon to tell the class what she did while she was off, Olivia first says she took a simple trip to the circus. But since all the performers were out sick with ear infections, Olivia had to ride the elephants, eat fire, and swing on the trapeze--and basically save the show. Full-color illustrations. Review:"So adroitly does Falconer charm and entertain, that it is easy to overlook the consummate skill required to completely capture personality in spare line and economical text. Sly, ironic details and superb book and page design support the effort....Fans will not be disappointed by this uniquely new sequel."Kirkus Reviews Review:"The circus performers are sick with ear infections, but, luckily for all, Olivia knows 'how to do everything.'...This story is more complex than the first, and, in a few instances, one wishes for smoother narrative transitions.

Booklist Synopsis:The porcine recipient of a 2001 Caldecott Honor award is back in a delightful sequel. Everyone's favorite piglet returns to school after summer vacation and is called on to tell the class what she did on her time off. Soon it's apparent that Olivia's simple trip to the circus turned out to be a busy day of high-flying fun! Full color.
Synopsis:Olivia remembers her trip to the circus very well. The performers were out sick, so she had to do everything. She...
