Just when Pete (Pete & Fremont) the pink poodle's circus act gets axed, he and rival Rita the chimp are whisked away--to Kansas--by a tornado. The exotic animals are out of place down on the farm, so they set off to reunite with their big-top friends. Pete's bombastic narration and accompanying black-and-white cartoon drawings add pep to this zany tale.

Pete the pink poodle is the star of the circus, until a misstep lands him in a less glamorous role. Pete's eventual friendship with crotchety new headliner Fremont, a bear who longs for the woods, might solve both their problems. Narrated by Pete with cocky, pun-laden aplomb, this imaginative novel is as over-the-top as the circus itself.
