(3) K-3 "Somewhere, deep in the city of Paris, there is a circus that is so small, and so secret...only the mice know how to find it." In this hushed tale, muted illustrations show Parisian mice gathering under the base of a merry-go-round for their own private circus. Wright's soft art is captivating; the quiet text is effectively spare.
