About This Book

Two young siblings spending summer with their grandfather on a farm decide to create a backyard circus and devote their days to planning and practicing. They invent acts, fashion tents and props, and work with pets and barn animals while enlisting neighborhood help. A string of mishaps and small adventures — falls, a lost doll, a striped calf, missing mice, balloons, and a sudden storm — tests their patience and ingenuity. Their preparations culminate in a lively performance that highlights cooperation, reveals a friend's helpful secret, and sends the children home satisfied.
