What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

From Caldecott Honor artist and author of the best-selling How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World comes a hilarious picture book romp about the things you can learn and the fun you can have at the circus. When Emeline’s teacher, Miss Splinter, takes the second grade on a field trip to the circus, she’s careful to make sure it’s a learning experience. While she reads – the text of the book consists of her “lessons” – the pictures show Emeline getting mixed up in the performances in the circus ring. She becomes a lion tamer, an acrobat, a trapeze artist, and more, before Miss Splinter realizes what’s going on. Marjorie Priceman’s vibrant, saturated paintings make this dazzling sight gag a feast for the eye. Children will applaud Emeline, laugh out loud at Miss Splinter, and painlessly soak up a few facts about animals, acrobats, and circuses along the way.
