"The verse is sprightly, but the pictures are the true stunners." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

When a circus ship runs aground off the coast of Maine, the poor animals are left on their own, but they soon win over the wary townspeople with their kind, courageous ways. So well do the critters blend in that when the greedy circus owner returns to claim them, villagers of all species conspire to outsmart the bloated blowhard. With buoyant rhymes and brilliantly caricatured illustrations evoking the early nineteenth century, Chris Van Dusen presents a hugely entertaining tale about the bonds of community--and a hidden-pictures spread for eagle-eyed readers of all ages.

Everyone in our household enjoys this book from the 4year old to the 17 year old and even Dad. The rhyming text is a pleasure to read aloud and the detailed pictures are funny and have everyone poring over them to find the animals and see the quirky details.

This book has it all - wonderful illustrations with lots for kids to look for and find. The story line is good and the rhyming style is unusual and charming. Our six year old and ten year old both love it - their new favourite book.

My grandson (at 4 years old) chose this book at our local library. We borrowed it so often I decided to buy it for him. He is 6 now and still enjoys reading it and finding the hidden animals. It is his favourite and I have since bought another one for a gift.
