Gr 2–5—In the fourth installment of this delightful series, Bert the circus mouse accidentally gets carried away by a balloon, though his friends in Sir Sidney's Circus have no idea—they think he's hiding after an argument with sister Gert. Elsewhere, Flora Endora Eliza LaBuena LaPasta is reluctantly preparing for the arrival of a new sibling. In a fortuitous turn, the mouse and the girl meet up and madcap adventure ensues. Engaging black-and-white illustrations, with loads of word balloons, and charming humor make this another winning addition to the series.
