<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Leaping lizards, marching snakes, a bear on the high wire, and others perform in a somewhat unusual circus.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Simple text and brilliantly colored cut-paper illustrations take children into a big top of circus excitement starring leaping lizards, marching snakes, whistling parrots, and the tumbling Zucchini Brothers.</strong></p><p>Share this classic picture book at home or at circle time. Lois Ehlert, of <em>Chicka Chicka Boom Boom</em> fame, was a picture book genius.</p><p>A tour de force. After some exuberant preliminaries, a colorful master of ceremonies welcomes readers to 'the greatest circus on earth.' They are then treated to a series of double spreads depicting an array of performers: Hugo, the world's biggest elephant; the Pretzel brothers; Samu the tiger; marching snakes and leaping lizards; the flying Zucchinis; a lion and his tamer--and of course, cotton candy, snow cones, and a lovable clown.<em> (School Library Journal)</em></p><p>Ehlert's characteristically vibrant colors and exhilarating style find even broader scope under the big top. Performed with panache, her junket gives new life to a favorite children's venue and is well worth the price of admission. <em>(Publishers Weekly)</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Simple text and brilliantly colored cut-paper illustrations take children into a big top of circus excitement starring leaping lizards, marching snakes, whistling parrots, and the tumbling Zucchini Brothers. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A tour de force.
