3.0 out of 5 stars
Lackluster...,
By Crazy James (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Carnival of Animals (Hardcover)
Sid Fleischman's A Carnival of Animals has some cute stories that are joined loosely together under the premise that a carefree little tornado passed by the area near Barefoot Mountain and a number of animals' lives were changed accordingly. One of the main problems of this collection of short stories is other than that a number of them relate to animals, the stories in actuality do not always mesh by a underlying thread while others seem to relate to each other. Some of the stories are cute such as the story of what happened to the clumsy frog that ate too many Mexican jumping beans, but some just seem to fill time and space. The pictures are mediocre and not particularly inspiring. All in all, this book would be a welcome respite from the tedium of a doctor's office, or of passing interest for a night's read... but it is certainly not destined to be a widespread childhood favorite.
