Who better than Anthony Browne to give the traditional ANIMAL FAIR a whole new spin - along with a few flips, pulls, and pop-ups?I went to the animal fair. The birds and the beasts were there.The big baboon, by the light of the moon,Was combing his auburn hair.For the first time, acclaimed children’s book artist Anthony Browne puts his mastery into motion - with a trip to the Animal Fair! Inspired by the well-known verse, this exuberant excursion features animals of all kinds twirling on rides, falling out of bunks, sliding down elephants’ trunks, and performing other surprising stunts, with a little help from their friends, of course. Children who love to pull tabs, turn wheels, and flip flaps - not to mention Anthony Browne fans of all stripes - will want to visit this topsy-turvy fair again and again.
