A Olivia le gusta cantar a todo volumen, probarse toda su ropa cada vez que se viste, ir a la playa y construir castillos de arena, imaginar que es bailarina o cantante de ópera, darle lata al gato, deshacerse de su hermanito, pintar murales, sacar de quicio a todo el mundo. En fin, es una cerdita que se divierte a lo grande.

Its show-and-tell time at Olivias school and shes telling her class about the time she went to the circus and all the performers were sick...so Olivia had to do everything.

Olivia's birthday is days away. Plans must be made. Who makes plans? Moms! Who simply must know the plans? Olivia, who is NOT above eavesdropping.

What a BAD birthday that would be!
