Book Two has come out for this cute circus series of books. Once again, I personally believe they need to lower the age group for these books. This is much more for the 4 to 7 group. Today's 10 year olds wouldn't touch these books. But they are cute and colorful and contain real stories, not just a sentence a page so I do recommend them for the younger reader. Of course a 4 year old would need them read to them, but that's how the interest starts right!?!

Everyone knows Sir Sidney’s Circus is the best in the world. But who’s the star of the show? The Circus Times is
having a contest to find out. Just thinking about it gives Sir Sidney a
worrywart, and it’s quickly clear why. Soon after he goes off to rest,
the performers start thinking too much about winning the trophy and not
enough about putting on a good show.
Meanwhile, it looks as if ringmaster-in-training Barnabas Brambles might need some help managing the crew, so Bert and Gert, the sly brother-and-sister mice who travel with the show, set out to write a book to teach him how it’s done.
Does Bert and Gert’s plan work? And who is the star of the circus? All will be revealed in The Greatest Star on Earth.
