Bookroo's summary

Olivia, the spirited pig, faces a dilemma: fireworks without a band? Unfazed, she crafts her own one-pig band using household items, determined to bring music to the night. With pots, pans, and her brother's toys, Olivia's noisy antics promise a spectacle. But will her efforts impress or cause chaos? Dive into Olivia's world of creativity and mischief, where every sound counts and surprises await.

From the publisher

Olivia is back! She has decided to form a band: a one-pig band, to be exact. And, as we all know, Olivia is certainly capable of making enough noise to sound like an entire orchestra . . . Featuring gatefold flaps, fireworks, experiments with lipstick an a very cross mummy, the fourth Olivia book is simply and hilariously told and gorgeously rendered - sure to delight Olivia fans of all ages!!
