Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The #1 New York Times bestselling kitty boy goes to the circus! In his newest adventure, the irresistible Skippyjon Jones swings out of his closet and into the spectacular Cirque de Ole, where his pals, the Chimichango gang, perform feats of derring-do. There are many acts to see, but only Skippito the Strong can perform the trickiest stunt of all. Judy Schachner's vivacious art and riotous text make for mucho read-aloud fun. Come one, come all--with Skippyjon Jones as the circus star, the Greatest Show on Earth just got even better! Includes a CD of the author reading! 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. However, Falconer has successfully sustained and built upon his delightfully original portrayal of the feisty Olivia, her vivid imagination, and her strong sense of self."School Library Journal
Review:"The little pig-girl is just as adorable, just as insouciant as she was in last year's debut. This time there's more of a story, but the charm is still in the charcoal art, kissed with dollops of red. Parents and children alike will recognize Olivia's many moods: exasperated, determined, smug, triumphant." Booklist

Synopsis:Olivia remembers her trip to the circus very well. The performers were out sick, so she had to do everything. She...
