The Circus Ship by Chris Van Dusen (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Circus Ship by Chris Van Dusen Story inspired by a true event, the disaster of the ship Royal Tar on October 25, 1836. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "The verse is sprightly, but the pictures are the true stunners." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)When a circus ship runs aground off the coast of Maine, the poor animals are left on their own, but they soon win over the wary townspeople with their kind, courageous ways. So well do the critters blend in that when the greedy circus owner returns to claim them, villagers of all species conspire to outsmart the bloated blowhard. With buoyant rhymes and brilliantly caricatured illustrations evoking the early nineteenth century, Chris Van Dusen presents a hugely entertaining tale about the bonds of community—and a hidden-pictures spread for eagle-eyed readers of all ages. Author Biography Review The verse is sprightly, but the pictures are the true stunners. Bright, lampooning gouaches (familiar from the Mercy Watson series) and dizzying perspective perfectly suit this picaresque tale...Children will pore over panoramic spreads that invite them to find each of the 15 animals and celebrate a denouement that serves up Mr. Paines just deserts. Splendid!—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Review Quote The verse is sprightly, but the pictures are the true stunners.
