In this volume she is supposed to tell her classmates about her holidays and spins a tale which revolves around her single-pawedly substituting all artists and clowns and animal tamers of a huge circus show, because the entire performing staff suffered from an ear inflammation and - certainly - because Olivia already knew how to do these things. The story and the pictures are wonderful.

I treated myself with a used copy of Olivia Saves the Circus, one of the two 'real' Olivia books I didn't own yet, via Amazon. I also have Clean Guides (downloadable PDFs) which enable you to clean up your book before reading it! These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book, so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't. **Like my reviews? I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too. and maybe it's books like these that got us thinking wrong behavior is something to laugh about and not something to correct.īut like I said, perhaps I'll save this topic for later and take a closer, philosophical look at it in a blog post.

Or how hilarious it is for little children to swear. I could rant or explain, and maybe some day I will, about how I think it's kind of messed up and backward how parents will video their child throwing the most awful, screaming tantrums and then comment on how cute and funny it is. Or disobediently jumping on the bed to end the story. but lying isn't comical and putting it into story form so that kids can also think lying (or story-telling) is comical is not my cup of tea.
