There's a new show in town and you don't want to miss it!I have been a fan of this book for a long time. I checked it out from the library again the other day and was reminded what a fantastic book it is. This is the most adorable book about a little piggy that shoots for her dreams and despite some setbacks she is able to persevere until she becomes the famous Tightrope Poppy!
Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen has written many fun kids books, including Mine-O-Saur and The Hog Prince. I'm a sucker for rhyming books and the rhyming in this is extremely fun and it is clear that a lot of time went into making it perfect! Plus, it is a great way to teach your kids that on the way to mastering a skill there may be a dramatic fall or two.
Sarah Dillard did a superb job with the illustrations. So colorful that my kids turn back the page just to stare at the pictures a little bit longer. I personally like all the circus colors, they make me feel right at home :)! Sarah has a cute little blog that you can check out too with fun sketches and pictures.
Tired of being stuck inside because of the cold weather? Enjoy a day at the circus with Poppy!
