Step into the ring with Olivia, where the lights are dim, the colour soft, and a little girl's imagination is the main attraction.

Olivia Saves the Circus is a delightful tale about Olivia's memorable trip to the circus. When the performers were out sick, Olivia's imagination takes centre stage, and she steps up to perform every act herself.

She:

  • rode on a unicycle
  • jumped on a trampoline
  • juggled five balls!
  • tamed lions
  • and flew through the air.
