Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"A delightful story... Aruego and Dewey’s characteristic vibrant illustrations capture the spirit ... and add to the pleasure.... A nice addition to the pattern books that are so important to beginning readers." --School Library Journal
Children's Literature - Judy Silverman
The authors and illustrators walk us through the circus acts of such would-be stars as Jazzy Giraffe, Elegant Elephant, and Zany Zebra. All talented, they and their friends all insist that "they" are the stars of the circus. The tale finally comes to a most satisfying conclusion. Amusing, and while not didactic at all, its message comes across loud and clear.
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1A delightful story with a recurring pattern, told in only 28 words. Eight animals with alliterative names (Zany Zebra, Marvelous Mouse, Crazy Kangaroo, etc.) vie for circus stardom. In fact, each creature announces himself as the "star of the circus" only to be driven off the stage by a bigger and fiercer animal who claims the spot. In a clever and surprising conclusion, the smaller characters band together into a fearsome shadow creature and frighten Elegant Elephant off his pedestal. Readers will join in the exuberant laughter that follows his plea for help, and even Elegant Elephant sports a small smile when he realizes the trick. "We're all stars of the circus!" shout the animals in a very satisfying ending. Aruego and Dewey's characteristic vibrant pen-and-ink and gouache illustrations capture the spirit of the story and add to the pleasure. Each animal wiggles with personality in these pictures. The book will be fun to share with groups and will make a nice addition to the pattern books that are so important to beginning readers.Suzanne Hawley, Laurel Oak Elementary School, Naples, FL
