About

Olivia was supposed to buy eggs at the store. Instead, she bought a circus! Between food fights and a lack of potty training, her mom is not thrilled. When Mr. Victor refuses to take the animals back, it's off to the zoo for Olivia's new friends... unless she can find a way to prove that she is in control of her circus. Janet Sumner Johnson takes a simple idiom and turns it into a hilarious story of one girl's love of animals, weaving in themes of responsibility, determination, and creative thinking.

Reviews

"A familiar idiom gets a picture-book twist in this story about a determined animal lover. Olivia's mother sends her to buy eggs, but she can't resist when she sees a circus for sale. When the animals make a mess of the house and the neighborhood, her mother insists Olivia get Mr. Victor to take his circus back; Mr. Victor repeatedly replies, "Not my circus." With a lot of patience and hard work, Olivia finds a way to keep her animals-and the peace."
