Feeding the Flying Fanellis: And Other Poems from a Circus Chef

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cosei Kawa. A collection of whimsical poems told by a creative chef showcase the quirky eating habits of circus entertainers--trapeze artists on a sugar high, for example. It's an offbeat angle on the circus and there's nice variation to the poems, though some of the rhymes and rhythms drag. While colorful and unique, the surreal illustrations contain details that are a bit too minute.
