(3) K-3 Precocious pig Olivia can make at least as much noise as an entire marching band, which is why she decides to bring along instruments to provide accompaniment for the Fourth of July fireworks. Falconer's droll black-and-white illustrations, with red and blue tossed in for patriotic good measure, capture his ever-popular heroine's never-dull antics. This paper-over-board edition is notable for its bargain price.
