a great discussion of all the different aspects of the circus: the different acts, the people, and how they work together to have the circus

Great pictures! Very interesting and would be great to read before going to the circus or if a student is interested in the circus.

The detailed pictures in this story make it best for one-on-one reading, but since it gives so much information, I use it as a "talk aloud" as we look at the pictures.

We learned about the work involved in packing, moving, unpacking, rehearsing, and performing. We also noticed how multicultural the circus troupe is: Japan, China, Hungary, Holland, New Zealand, Russia, India...so many countries are part of the story!

This is a very different type of circus. Great pictures with a lot of color. What happens when the circus goes to town.

A cute book that would be great to show students the different types of animals. The book has a lot of pictures so it is great for the younger grades.
