Books with title The Circus Thief

This big book invites you to visit the circus, where you'll always find fun, laughs, and thrills. Twenty-three illustrations take you under the Big Top, where you can color pictures of a man on stilts, a bear balancing on a ball, trained seals, expert jugglers, a bareback rider, a tightrope walker, and a clown riding a unicycle (that's a bike with one wheel).Besides coloring all these exciting pictures, you can also create your own circus scenes with 24 sticker images of a ringmaster, acrobats, a lion tamer, elephants, monkeys, balloons, and lots of tasty treats. The stickers also look great on cards, letters, notebooks, and other flat surfaces.

A story about a boy with perseverance who overcomes loss to become an exceptional man. Losing a father at a young age he wants to please his mom. They go to a circus and sees she enjoys the clowns. He becomes a clown to make her happy but ends up losing her and winds up in an orphanage. Overcoming that loss he becomes a strong young man with great morals.

The circus has come to town, and Jacky Barry wants to see it. His dad says it is too expensive and a waste of time in the lean Depression, but Jacky disagrees. He has seen the marvelous posters, tacked to walls all over their small Midwest town. He doesn't understand why his dad and mom don't want to see a snake over thirty feet long; or a sharpshooter that never misses.

The wonderment of the circus through a child’s eyes, told in catchy poetic form, reminiscent of Dr. Seuss books, including vibrant full color illustrations throughout. Jake, Tom, Jen and Jessica are siblings. One afternoon they discover the exciting circus of their memories has once again come back to their very town and they beg their dad to take them. Dad is quite willing, as he and the kids recount all the wonderful things that they hope to see and what they thought was the most stupendous thing about their last circus. All is going well until a brief, heated argument arises among the children about what is the very “best” thing of all - brief, because Dad lays down the law. Unless they can behave, no one will go. Reason prevails, and the kids and Dad are rewarded by seeing an even better and bigger circus than they remember. “And it was very, very good.” This book is intended to be read by children of elementary school age and read to preschoolers by their parents. It truly captures the flavor and excitement of that great American institution, THE CIRCUS.
