THE GREATEST little show ON EARTH

The secrets of Paris revealed from the ground up.

Beneath the sparkling lights of Paris is a circus so secret that only the mice know how to find it. Floating by balloon across a Parisian cityscape they travel to the grand performance, where tiny acrobats form mouse pyramids and giant housecats are tamed. Wright's simple expressive lines over glowing textures make this a captivating and adorable book debut, not to mention one great show.

Editorial Reviews

James Hynes
The text has a gently incantatory rhythm, while the book's twilight colors perfectly evoke the magic hour when shadows deepen even as the lights become more luminous…Wright's book is all about expectation and mystery, that effervescent moment when the spotlight first hits the ringmaster, and all the faces in the dark around the ring light up with anticipation.
—The New York Times
From The Critics

A charismatic group of French mice enjoy a night out in Wright's dreamy, muted debut. "Somewhere, deep in the city of Paris, there is a circus that is so small, and so secret... only the mice know how to find it." The pointy noses and dumpling bodies of the mice are inked in spidery lines against a dusty nighttime backdrop on rough canvas. Each line of text teases readers with a secret ("Only the mice know what to wear"), and each spread reveals it: in this case, mice help each other into patchwork yet fancy dresses, shirts and hats. Beside the text, "Only the mice know how to get there...," a group of mice float through the air in a hot-air balloon, the lights of the city below and the Eiffel Tower sparkling in the distance. More spreads reveal a miniature circus under a carousel, with jugglers, a clown and a cat-taming act. There's magic in the air, as bright lights and stars twinkle, but Wright keeps the events and the repeating form low-key and lullabylike-just right for bedtime. Ages 2-6. (Apr.)

    So Sweet!

    The Secret Circus is a charming book. The illustrations are lovely and the story of little mice heading out to a Parisean circus is too cute. I'm expecting my first baby soon, and can't wait to read this one over and over again!
