(Ages 4 8) When a circus ship runs aground off the coast of Maine, the poor animals are left on their own to swim the chilly waters.

With stunning artwork and a rhyming text, the illustrator of the Mercy Watson books tells a tale of human-animal connection full of humor and heart. (Ages 4-8) When a circus ship runs aground off the coast of Maine, the poor animals are left on their own to swim the chilly waters. Staggering onto a nearby island, they soon win over the wary townspeople with their kind, courageous ways. So well do the critters blend in that when the greedy circus owner returns to claim them, villagers of all species conspire to outsmart the bloated blowhard. With buoyant rhymes and brilliantly caricatured illustrations evoking the early nineteenth century, Chris Van Dusen presents a hugely entertaining tale about the bonds of community -- and a rare hidden-pictures spread for eagle-eyed readers of all ages.Binding Type: Hardcover

Coolest label maker I’ve ever come across
Color: Beige
Seriously this is such a fun way to wrap presents! It comes with ink and small labels. Must buy ribbon separately. But I love this and will definitely use it for years to come! It works via Bluetooth with an app on your phone. You can customize to whatever you want!

Average quality, not as premium as expected
Color: Beige
Before buying, I thought it would be a thick, glossy satin ribbon. After receiving it, I found the material is rather thin and the texture feels quite ordinary. When used for gift wrapping, it looks a bit cheap and doesn’t match the effect shown in the pictures.

Print quality is inconsistent
Color: Pink
Some labels come out okay, others look blurry or faded, especially with smaller fonts. For decorative ribbons, details matter, and this just isn’t reliable.
