I liked this book for two reasons, the first being that its illustrations are incredibly detailed and colorful, just as a circus should be. There are a variety of animals and their expressions are appropriate to the story. The second reason I liked this book is because of its writing. The author keeps the reader engaged by mixing up his style of writing throughout the book. The text is written in a wavy pattern on some pages, and rhymes in the end of the book. There is also a page in the back titled, “We Love Circus Colors!” and the pictures of each character are labeled with the color of a certain item of clothing they are wearing. For example, the character Noah is wearing a red top, so the picture of Noah is labeled stating that he is wearing a red shirt, and the color red is written in red. I also liked that this page included mathematic equations about colors that mix to make an entirely new color. For example, Blue+Yellow=Green. The main message of this book is to teach young children about colors, clothing articles and animals. This book also teaches about teamwork because the animals all have a job in preparing for the circus that takes place in the end of the story. ( )

I liked this book a lot for younger children because it is very fun. The text is fun, the illustrations are fun, and the storyline is very fun. Throughout the book the text is laid out in different ways. Sometimes the text is is normal line set up, other times the text takes shape and curves. Also there are colors in the text. The pictures take up most of the pages and are very detailed. There are a few animals per page and the animals are wearing clothes and are acting as humans doing human activities. What is also very cool about this book is that the animal's name starts with the same name as the type of the animal. For instance the alligator's name is Adam. I think little kids would get a kick out of this book because the animals are acting as students in a classroom. The book also focuses on colors, which incorporates another important and upcoming concept for young children. The book was very cute and was written for students to read easily. There are only a few words per page and the words are very large. Overall I thought this was a great book for Kindergarten and first graders. ( )

This is a great alphabet and color book. The alphabet is done with the beginning letter of each childs name. Miss Bindergarten helps her students plan and put on a circus for their families. ( )
