Tree-Ring Circus
Kindergarten-Grade 3–This zany, rhyming, cumulative tale is carefully designed, humorously detailed, and appropriately silly. It starts and ends with a tree and features a colorful array of first woodland, and then escaped circus creatures that take up residence in its branches. A new font, including hand-lettering, announces each new arrival. Paintings created in oils and mixed media portray a jumble of animals cavorting across the pages, testing viewers' memory and visual skills. Budding artists and sophisticated fans of search-and-find books.–Debbie Stewart Hoskins, Grand Rapids Public Library, MICopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
