Clown
What's Clown About
One day, Clown is thrown into the trash, but he doesn’t stay there long. He tries to find someone to take care of his friends, but no one listens. Then Clown finds someone he can take care of, and together, they make a home for everyone. Follow the fortunes of Clown– who starts in a garbage can and ends up in a happy family– in this perfectly pitched picture book. Master illustrator Quentin Blake has created an irrepressible character, an action-filled plot, and an eloquent story that can be read on several levels– all without the use of a single word.
