When the animals get loose at the circus, the laughter begins. This book is told in rhyme, is easy to read and has a great cadence. It is a fun tale with lion chasing zebra through town after he steps on lion's paw. The illustrations are fun and detailed. In several of them you can look for zebra who is hiding from lion. Once they are on the run, everyone else follows until there is a happy ending and zebra and lion are no longer in a tiff. A great read aloud for classrooms. This is a wonderful book for schools, libraries and homes as well. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.… (lisätietoja)
