Olivia Forms a Band

Olivia Forms a Band

by Ian Falconer
Illustrator: Ian Falconer

Atheneum Books For Young Readers | September 1, 2009 | Hardcover

Everyone''s favorite Caldecott Honor-winning porcine diva is back and with fanfare! There are going to be fireworks tonight, and Olivia can hardly wait to hear the band. But when she finds out that there isn''t going to be a band, she can''t understand why not. How can there be fireworks without a band?! And so Olivia sets to putting a band together herself...all by herself. Using pots, pans, her brother''s toys, and even her father''s suspenders, Olivia forms a band spectacular enough to startle any audience. Lavishly brought to life in Ian Falconer''s signature style, and introducing an eye-catching shade of blue, here is Olivia doing what Olivia does best -- making noise.

    Fabulous #4 in the series

    Alison

    6 years ago

    This is a super addition to the Olivia series. I bought it the day after it was released. I would have got it the day it released but I didn't know it was coming out. The story follows exactly what any high spirited 3-5 year old would do in the same circumstances. My 3 year old LOVES all the Olivia books and this one was a big hit when I gave it to her and her sister. I can't wait to see when Olivia #5 will be out. My 3 year old also has many instruments which she likes to play and march around the house with her friends. I hope they come out with a poster from the illustrations. I would love to frame at least one page of the book for my daughter's wall.
