Spotlights glow--let's start the show!
As the circus train rolls into town, excited children and their parents
get in line for their chance to experience the Big Top. Clowns paint
faces and people scurry to their seats. Then the show begins, wrapping
readers in all the wonders of the circus. Dancing elephants, flipping
trapeze artists, and pie-throwing clowns captivate both young and old.
Jennifer Cole Judd's text is a treat for the ears with its simple,
evocative rhymes, while Melanie Matthews's delightful illustrations
capture the fun and spectacle of the circus. Readers will be cheering,
Encore! Encore!
