(4) K-3 Ringmaster P. T. Vermin and his circus crew present "a parade of performances that will puzzle the peepers." The text's grandstanding narrative, complete with copious exclamation points, matches the exuberance of the optical-illusion illustrations. Most are cleverly executed and not too difficult to see, though readers may have trouble manipulating a few of the pages as intended. A "mysteries revealed" page provides explanations.
