'We've all had enough of your clowning about . . . it's not funny!'
Every morning, before school, Bill dresses in baggy trousers, a silly blue wig and a red plastic nose, as . . . the Great Bilbo! But clowns belong in the Big Top, not in the classroom, and everyone is getting really fed up with Bill's clowning! Then Bill takes Mum to a real circus, and the Great Bilbo discovers that being funny is a serious business . . .
All the fun of the circus in this hilarious story. Corgi Pups are perfect for new readers just embarking on real books.
