Bookroo's summary
A young acrobat guides his friends through the circus, where appearances deceive. His uncle, the strongman, mysteriously loses matches, and the tattooed man is a prankster at heart. Even the trapeze artists enforce homework! Discover the unexpected truths behind the big top's dazzling facade.
From the publisher
A young acrobat shows his friends around the big top, but all is not as it seems. His uncle, the strongman, always manages to lose their wrestling matches. The scary-looking tattooed man is a regular Joe who likes to pull funny practical jokes. And the daring trapeze artists make their son do homework just like everyday parents! Lively watercolors capture the excitement of the circus and the coziness of home.
