Book Reviews of Peter Spier's Circus (A Picture Yearling Book)
Book Review: Behind the scenes at the Big Top
Summary: 5 Stars
In one of his best picture books--and one that can be enjoyed equally by kids and their parents--Spier portrays in ink and watercolor illo's and words that don't talk down the people and workings of a travelling circus based upon the well-known Big Apple. He shows us how it sets up (by night), who its people are and where they come from (the performers hail from such lands as Japan, France, Holland, Italy, New Zealand, Hungary, Germany, China, Spain--and the U.S.), and something of how they live when they're not working, and follows a typical performance from the Great Parade to the Grand Finale. For anyone who's ever thrilled to a circus (from Barnum & Bailey on down) and wondered what it would be like to live "on" one, this book is a must-have.
