The circus performers do things we would never have imagined: the elephants walk the tightrope, the horses liven things up with music, the seals are happy spectators who give a standing ovation to the brave lion who sticks his head in the handler’s mouth. Beginning readers will discover that imagination has no limits, and that just by changing a few things around, you can create very funny situations.

This book will motivate children to imagine all they would do in a plaza as odd as this one.
