Emma's Circus Reviews

3.5
““Emma’s Circus” is a picture book intended for children 8 to 10 years old. Candace Fleming’s “Emma’s Circus” is the story of Emma, a little girl, who wants nothing more than to go to the circus. However, her family lives on a farm and they do not have the time to go. Emma notices that the circus is coming to her, while doing her chores. In the end, they get to see the circus after all. I gave this book a 4-star rating. The first thing about this book that stood out was the bright and vibrant colors throughout the book. The overall story was original in the sense of the circus coming to Emma, but I’ve read stories about a child’s imagination. I liked that the characters in this book were typical, everyday people, who have to work and support themselves. The theme of this book was one that I have read before- always remember to have a little fun. The only thing I think would discourage children from reading would be the length, but I don’t believe it will effect older readers.”
