Jane, a small circus dog, doesn't measure up to her talented doggy parents and siblings who can get shot from a cannon, lift an elephant, tightrope walk, etc. The detailed acrylic illustrations set against white backgrounds distinguish the slight story; the colorful circus milieu and aerial perspectives convey Jane's ordinariness, which turns out to be enough for her ringmaster owner.
