I Gave This Book 4 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁
Why 4 Roars? "Circus Girl" earns 4 roars for its depiction of
circus life and its ability to captivate young readers with its unusual storyline.
It is a memorable reading experience that is a little strange and something of
an oddity. So, grab a seat under the big tent and let's read about the circus!
Critical Analysis: Jack Sendak's "Circus Girl" celebrates the
timeless allure of the circus as a symbol of joy, creativity, and the thrill of

level have many commonalities.
