A little man is very sure this book will be boring. But then he (and a little bear) start finding things - A large shoe, a ball, a bright red nose, a trumpet a little car, balloons - all the things that make up a circus, but no one to use these things. Then he finds a sad group of circus performers and returns everything to them.
This was quite an unusual book. The story was a great idea, but I didn’t love the execution. The illustrations were very old fashioned, which on the surface isn't a bad thing, but it was too unusual. The owners of the items weren’t obvious, and not everyone wanted their item back. A young reader would have a difficult time with this book, especially if circus or parade aren’t part of the background knowledge.
