Description:
When Emeline's teacher, Miss Splinter, takes the second grade on a field trip to the circus, she's careful to make sure it's a learning experience. But while Miss Splinter delivers lessons about the animals and acrobats, Emeline is learning all by herself: Inadevertently (or is it?) she gets mixed up in the performances, becoming a lion tamer, an acrobat, a trapeze artist, and more before Miss Splinter realizes what's going on.
Expand description
Marjorie Priceman's vibrant, saturated paintings make this picture book sight gag a feast for the eye. While Miss Splinter reads -- the text of the book consists of her "lessons" -- the pictures show Emeline's adventures in the circus ring. Picture book age children will applaud Emeline, laugh out loud at Miss Splinter, and painlessly learn a few facts about circuses in the process!
