Purchase options and add-ons
Spotlights glow―let’s start the show!
As the circus train rolls into town, excited children and their parents get in line for their chance to experience the Big Top. Clowns paint faces and people scurry to their seats. Then the show begins, wrapping readers in all the wonders of the circus. Dancing elephants, flipping trapeze artists, and pie-throwing clowns captivate both young and old. Jennifer Cole Judd’s text is a treat for the ears with its simple, evocative rhymes, while Melanie Matthews’s delightful illustrations capture the fun and spectacle of the circus. Readers will be cheering, Encore! Encore!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2023I bought this as a gift for my niece and I was so happy with the product. It is a cute story with fun and vibrant pictures. Just what I was looking for!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2017My five year old is starting to read and loves the rhythm and rhyme of this book- we often catch her reciting the words from memory (like a catchy song) long after we finish reading. My three year old loves the many jobs mentioned to help keep a circus working as well as the fun, colorful illustrations. Even my one year old likes this book because it often gives her something to do (ie: “Applause! Applause!”). And I love this book because it’s one I can read on repeat without getting annoyed! We’ve given copies of this book to friends for birthday and Christmas- It’s a great find.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020As a children's librarian I am always on the lookout for books that are fun to read out loud, keep young kids engaged, and have fun craft potential. This book checks all those boxes, not to mention it has become my daughters favorite! We read it every night before bed.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019Nice simple story with good illustrations. Might be good for bedtime as it isn't too exciting. Best for very young children.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2017A softer look at the circus with vibrant colors and exciting rhyme.
The colors and illustrations alone will keep a child entranced and the rhyme make the book even more fun to read aloud.
Written by Jennifer Cole Judd , illustrated by Melanie Matthews and published by Two Lion Books.
