The Circus Goes to Sea, Paperback/Kate Klise

Descriere

NOW IN PAPERBACK "Youngsters will find reading smooth sailing and look forward to future escapades." --Kirkus Reviews For many years, Sir Sidney's Circus has traveled by train. But one day a letter arrives from Miss Flora Endora Eliza La Buena La Pasta inviting the circus to travel aboard the SS Spaghetti. Who can resist? The Spaghetti is a floating palace of elegance and entertainment. There's only one problem: Miss La Pasta doesn't want Barnabas Brambles to come aboard, because she's heard he's the meanest man alive. Lucky for Barnabas Brambles, his boss is Sir Sidney, the nicest man alive. Sir Sidney insists the entire circus, including Barnabas Brambles, accept the invitation. But Leo doesn't like water. Elsa's never been swimming. The Famous Flying Banana Brothers have no idea where they'll put their trapeze. And what's that large object up ahead in the water? Praise for the Three-Ring Rascals Series: "The story zips along, the text and illustrations are full of playful surprises, and the author sustains a tone of rare and genuine sweetness . . . Rich and inventive." --Chicago Tribune "Absurd situations, winning characters and plenty of heartfelt moments and laughs combine to make this a surefire hit." --Kirkus Reviews "A fun pick for fans of silly stories and for reluctant readers, too." --School Library Journal
