Overview

The wonderment of the circus through a child's eyes, told in catchy poetic rhyme, reminiscent of Dr. Seuss books, including vibrant full color illustrations throughout.

Jake, Tom, Jen and Jessica are siblings. One afternoon they discover the exciting circus of their memories has once again come back to their very town and they beg their dad to take them. Dad is quite willing, as he and the kids recount all the wonderful things that they hope to see and what they thought was the most stupendous thing about their last circus. All is going well until a brief, heated argument arises among the children about what is the very "best" thing of all - brief, because Dad lays down the law. Unless they can behave, no one will go. Reason prevails, and the kids and Dad are rewarded by seeing an even better and bigger circus than they remember. "And it was very, very good."  

This book is intended to be read by children of elementary school age and read to preschoolers by their parents. It truly captures the flavor and excitement of that great American institution, THE CIRCUS.

The Circus
Lindsey Michael Miller

 

The circus! The circus! What great fun we'd have.
      All the clowns and the acrobats! Can we go, Dad??

Well I don't know, kids. Are you ready to see??
      The dad asked slowly smiling, his kids filled with glee,
All those puppets, and walkers of high-wired beams,
      All the people in stupor, entranced by the scenes
Of the elephants standing all tall in a row,
      Or the twelve fingered lady with twelve painted toes??

Oh, yes, Dad!  Oh, yes!?  Said the first of his kids.
      Jake was dreaming of visions with tightly closed lids.

I am ready to see all the things just like these:
      Like the great flying men on the swinging trapeze,
Or the tricky horse riders who ride with such care
      On the backs of their horses and ride sitting bare.
And forget not those tigers that scare with their roar,
      Or the monkeys who make you clap yelling, Encore!!!

    there are so few children's books that have the main characters fathers and children. It is refreshing to have a quality children's book that father's can read and re[read to their kids.
