Van Dusen, Chris The Circus Ship pgs.40 Candlewick Language~G; Sexual Content~G; Violence~G

When the Circus ship runs a-ground off the coast of Maine a delightful adventure begins! The mean spirited cirucs owner saves himself and leaves the animals to fend for themselves. The fifteen animals all swim into harbor and when the towns people wake up in the morning there are quite a few surprises. They grow to love the animals, however, and when the ringmaster returns they work with the animals to trick him into not finding them. The pictures are stunningly beautiful and combined with the rhyming text gives the readers a wonderful charming story experience.
