Olivia is everyone's favorite pig. This time she goes to the circus. The performers were all out sick, so Olivia had to do everything herself.

Olivia begins her day by making pancakes for her brothers and a mess for her mother. She then puts on her school uniform and dresses the dull clothes up with ribbons and some stripped stockings. At school she tells her class about her circus visit where she was a clown, a tightrope walker and a trapeze artist. There were lots of other jobs she did at the circus. You can find out if her class believed her.

Olivia is a series that has delighted children and adults. The illustrations show a cute pig and with simple and attractive artwork you can get to know her.
