Sidewalk Circus

I actually thought this book was funny. I liked how the children could use their imaginations and see the circus in every day events. I think this really shows first hand how children are so creative and use their imaginations so very often. The pictures were amazing. I was not looking forward to reading this book since there were not going to be in words, but I really think this would be a good book for younger children to make up their own story according to the pictures. I really liked how the story somewhat continues when the little boy sits down on the bench and starts seeing the "circus" too. Great book for young children!
