First edition. The fourth picture book following Ian Falconer’s beloved procine diva, Olivia!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… allby 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, here is Olivia doing what Olivia does best — making noise.
