Reviews

Grade 2-4-A mind-stretching, innovative picture book, reminiscent of the popular "Waldo" books (Little), only on a more complex level. Three children try to find out why the Thirteen Clown Carnival is in chaos. Someone keeps mixing up the rides and causing trouble. Readers solve the mystery by cracking hidden codes, searching through mazes, and solving puzzles. Visual challenges abound, such as finding 25 things wrong with the carnival in one picture, or locating the sideshow performers in a crowd. The detailed, colorful watercolors will keep children puzzling over this book for a long time. Answers are included in the back.
