This is a good book overall. It is a little thin however without much content. It's pictures galore and color galore, but I thought there might have been a little background here, when all it really is, is rhyming poems for each picture. The costumes and make-up are out of this world and unique and worth the purchase alone. Some of the 'characters' are familiar looking, but if they aren't, there is nothing to tell you which show they stared in until you get to the back of the book where there are the photo credits. This is a beautiful book for fans of Cirque du Soleil (and who couldn't be when their shows are so spectacular). Even if you aren't a big fan, the costumes are so great, you'll enjoy looking at the characters. Apart from it's lack of great detail, this is still a book everyone will enjoy.

Parade of Colors has great photos of Cirque du Soleil shows, but the tie in attempt of this book for younger readers who don't know the show doesn't quite work. Since it is teaching about colors I think the intended audience will be those almost completely unfamiliar with the show. However the photos are filled with colors and the text does rhyme (although the cadence isn't always perfect). And at the end of the book we get to learn which shows all the photos are associated it. Maybe you will even recognize some of the characters yourself.
