The Show Must Go On!

(2) 4-6 Three-Ring Rascals series. Illustrated by M. Sarah Klise. Sir Sidney prides his circus on its solicitous treatment of animals. Who will take over after he retires? Barnabas Brambles wins a one-week trial, but his obsession with turning a profit lands the circus in dire straits. The Klises maintain a light touch with the messaging, and they give the book a comforting unity around kindness. Black-and-white spot art brings the gawky-limbed characters to life.
