(3) K-3 A trapeze in the kitchen, a pink, star-covered cannon on the roof, and assorted atypical pets are just some of the unusual accoutrements of life in this friendly family of circus performers. Nimble cartoon illustrations depict the high-flying Garbanzos preparing for their youngest's second birthday, a process that involves balancing their unicycle on an airplane to retrieve a runaway cake.
