(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gian Casty. One day clown Petronius and his animal friends decide they will no longer perform as directed, and they all leave the circus. They form a new, rule-free circus for children and poets, becoming as successful as they are happy. This edition features the illustrations from the original 1962 Swiss edition; the bold, childlike images are commanding, but the lengthy text lacks verve.
