Roll up, roll up for the circus! The lights go down. The band begins to play. The ringmaster twirls his top hat. But the clown says, "No!" he is fed up with playing the fool, and the animals are tired of their tricks. Together they set out to follow their dreams . . .
This charming and thought-provoking story is now reissued with delightful new illustrations. Its gentle messages about the power of stories and the importance of freedom are as relevant to children today as they were over forty years ago.
