Gr 1–3—Sir Sidney's Circus sets sail on board the SS Spaghetti, but things are not looking good. The animals are wary of a sea adventure, and Miss Flora Endora LaBuena LaPasta doesn't want Barnabas Brambles to come along. Winsome illustrations throughout, quick chapters, and zany antics make this latest installment on par with the previous books in the series.
Sir Sidney's goodhearted cast of performing animals and people take to the Atlantic at the request of a cruise ship captain's lonely young daughter. Series fans will recognize the winning formula: slapstick antics, punny asides, and lessons in kindness (and numerous other subjects) culminate in the circus saving the day. Generous spot art on every page seamlessly sets each scene.
