Reviews

"A wonderful picture book about a trip to the circus seen through the eyes of a small, excited child. The lights, sounds, smells and magic of the circus come through clearly in the simple, precise text. Siri Melchior's colorful illustrations fit the circus style perfectly and add both warmth and detail to the story." – (Library review (Lektøranmeldelse))
