In this adaptation of the popular children’s song “Animal Fair,” there are all kinds of animals doing silly things! The big baboon is combing his hair, the kangaroos are rattling spoons, the bears are juggling pears, and the chimps are swinging on the trapeze. Can you guess what happens to the mischievous monk . . . the monk, the monk, the monk? Cheerful illustrations bring this lively rendition to life.

Ponder Goembel has illustrated a number of picture books for children. In this cheery rendition of the popular children’s song, she has created a cast of lively circus animals, sure to please young and old.
Based on the children’s song Animal Fair, Goembel’s adaptation adroitly posits the wild imaginings of a child: what might go on at a fair apparently run by animals? The answer is nonsense, as virtually nothing the animals do makes a whit of sense. That, of course, is what will make young listeners squeal with glee. The text is wonderfully wordy and tied to an irresistible rhythm: The bears came down the stairs / while juggling purple pairs. / The parrots squawked, they chattered and talked / as they stood on the back on their chairs. Goembel’s ink- and acrylic-wash artwork has an appealing orderliness to it; the animals tend to dress alike and stand in straight lines as if even their misbehavior is part of a rehearsed act. As lovers of the song know, it all comes to a head when the mischievous monk jumps on the elephant’s trunk—and, well, that’s all she wrote for that poor monkey. A silly, catchy little number with enough visual quirks to keep kids returning for one more curtain call. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Daniel Kraus
