Si el niño elije este libro y como adulto le ayudas (comprar, regalar, prestar) para que pueda leerlo, ten por seguro que es una buena elección. Si como adulto, te gustaría conocer un poco más sobre el libro, entonces te invito a leer la reseña:
Fue el primer libro que leí de Olivia, me pareció un libro divertido y con muchas ocurrencias, Olivia como personaje es alguien “atrevido”, aventurero y poco empática; estos rasgos la llevan a que “todo puede pasar en la historia”, lo que se traduce en situaciones alocadas y con elementos aleatorios en la trama. Las ilustraciones son prácticamente a blanco y negro con un alto detalle en los personajes, con fondos blancos o simplificados.
En la historia, Olivia cuenta que en las vacaciones fue al circo y como todos los artistas estaban enfermos ella realizó todos los actos.

The irrepressible Oliva charms us again as she spins a yarn for her class. She tells them that she went to a circus but that all of the performers were out sick "with ear infections." She was able to fill in for them...in ALL of the roles. Oliva the tattoo lady, lion tamer, and trampoline queen. It's fun to pretend along with her, and it's really hilarious when the teacher sees through her tall tale.

Olivia is asked to present what she did during her vacation and she tells everyone how she did all the things at the circus because the performers weren't available. Olivia is definitely not for everyone. She is precocious and spins tales which we as readers see with visual brilliance. However, she can also come across as a liar. I personally enjoy her books as they illustrate the power of imagination. This story is one of the better ones that I've read from her series as well.
For: Olivia fans; readers wanting circus books/back to school books.
Possible red flags: lying/telling stories and not admitting to falsehoods.

Até que ponto vai a imaginação de uma criança? Neste livrinho, isso simplesmente não tem limites. Divertido, muito bom.

Okay so Olivia is a bit of a brat with not a very great grasp on the truth. And this one is not nearly as good as the first one. But she's so cute - whether exercising on the endpapers or making pancakes or performing in the circus. And she's smart and capable and still ends up in bed on time.
