Bug Circus (by Kathy Darling)
I go to a library called Book World every week. One day I brought a book called Bug Circus. I liked that book so much because it was different. Five friends Joe, Paul, Bill, Sandy and Tara come up with an idea to catch insects and conduct a circus show. Everybody goes to get insects. Joe gets a beetle. Paul finds a caterpillar. Bill gets grasshoppers and Sandy finds a bug. Tara is not able to get any bug initially. They put the bugs in jars and train them.

The real fun started with the circus show. Bill presented the grasshopper called “The Hopper Brothers”. He made the grasshopper jump over a little stick. Sandy made her bug skate on a bowl of water. Everyone cried “Hurray”. Joe made his beetle dive into the water and Paul put his caterpillar on a string like a tight rope walker. Everybody cheered and clapped. When people thought the circus was over, Tara yelled about her spider act. Yes! She had caught spiders and hosted the top act, “The Flying Trapeze”. Her spiders spun a thread and started swinging on a trapeze bar.
I love this book because it’s very imaginative and thoroughly enjoyable.
