"A tour de force. After some exuberant preliminaries, a colorful master of ceremonies welcomes readers to 'the greatest circus on earth.' They are then treated to a series of double spreads depicting an array of performers: Hugo, the world's biggest elephant; the Pretzel brothers; Samu the tiger; marching snakes and leaping lizards; the flying Zucchinis; a lion and his tamer—and of course, cotton candy, snow cones, and a lovable clown." (School Library Journal)

"Ehlert's characteristically vibrant colors and exhilarating style find even broader scope under the big top. Performed with panache, her junket gives new life to a favorite children's venue and is well worth the price of admission." (Publishers Weekly)
