Olivia’s in need of a dance partner–and Uncle Garrett is perfect for the part in this Fancy Keepsake Collection storybook. Uncle Garrett is visiting and Olivia and Ian are thrilled! After a night with her mom at the ballet, Olivia can’t wait to perform a pas de deux–a dance with a partner–at Show and Tell. But when she goes to ballet class, there are no boys, and therefore no dance partners. Who can get she get to dance with her? It’s Uncle Garrett to the rescue!

This adorable story based on an episode is sure to be a big hit with all Olivia fans! OLIVIA(TM) Ian Falconer Ink Unlimited, Inc. and (c) 2013 Ian Falconer and Classic Media, LLC
