Both were really great. Oh- and I read Escaping the Giant Wave. All the other covers are way better than this one. I liked the other books- so I will read this one now that I read your review.Flexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13910380748346719965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-39031510491688777282011-12-29T21:26:31.867-05:002011-12-29T21:26:31.867-05:00@Patty- I think you might like this book- it does ...@Patty- I think you might like this book- it does deal with animal cruelty- but it is toned down a bit. If not- you might want to try another book by this author- she is great.<br /><br />@Jen- I have read a few of Peg Kehrets books and they are all good. Most have better covers though. My view of the circus is changed FOREVER! <br /><br />@Kelly, Marcus and Fairday- This book is fantastic- too bad the cover doesn't match up!<br /><br />@Claudine- I agree- more kids need to know what goes on at the circus. I had no idea and am so glad I know now!<br /><br />@Barbara,Momto8, and Melissa- You all have big hearts! It is a great book and it will touch you deeply! <br /><br />@Elisa- I haven't seen Water for Elephants- but it sounds excellent! The Scribe would probably like this book a lot!<br /><br />@Elaine- I am with you- this book is fantastic. I feel the same way about the circus!<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for commenting. I have been enjoying these comments! Don't let this cover fool you! :)Lizzy Mackervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18282829487976336335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-43354091630231278032011-12-29T20:33:14.619-05:002011-12-29T20:33:14.619-05:00I used to go to the circus every year.

I wish the book had a different cover though- because this one isn't too appealing. This book is awesome!!!!! I think everyone should read it- it isn't too gory.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575316015358274971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-39304693922583398902011-12-29T14:48:16.503-05:002011-12-29T14:48:16.503-05:00the premise sounds wonderful...and a good lesson a...the premise sounds wonderful...and a good lesson against animal cruelty!Melissas Eclectic Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954443867000135343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-68311764587641194102011-12-29T13:09:45.152-05:002011-12-29T13:09:45.152-05:00We just watched "Water For Elephants" an...We just watched "Water For Elephants" and the Scribe loved to.

Children deserve to know the truth. Hopefully, treatment of animals could grow kinder ...<br /><br />Claudine<br />http://www.carryusoffbooks.com/blog.htmlYanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-11543690191647599092011-12-28T15:39:23.854-05:002011-12-28T15:39:23.854-05:00I haven't heard of the book- it sounds really ...I haven't heard of the book- it sounds really interesting!Marcus Brocket (A.K.A.
