Captured here is the tormented journey of a young puppy (Spot) who proceeds from page-to-page in search of his misdirected ball. Without regard to his own personal safety, Spot chases the bouncing orb through cages occupied by lions and tigers; around a bear who, herself is balancing on a ball (and wearing a tu-tu); and across a high-wire act where two monkeys make an unsuccessful attempt to catch the errant ball. Ultimately, the ball is located in the cage of a seal who teaches Spot how the balance the orb on his nose, much to the delight of the puppy's mother. All ends happily, as Spot announces that he has made a new friend. While I personally found the tale somewhat predictable -- for example, I never feared for Spot's safety and figured that, ultimately, his ball would be recovered -- my three year old delighted in the apparent risk and adventure undertaken by the pup and, no matter how many times she reads the book always "oohs," and "aahs" with each new progression through the pages. While is isn't the Cat-in-the-Hat, Spot Goes to the Circus is good clean family fun

If your child likes Spot books I'm sure they'll enjoy this one.

Spot loses his ball and chases it all over the circus trying to catch it ... finally ended up being taught to balance it on his nose by a seal. A fun adventure your toddler will love!

A great book. your child will be addicted to it and learn as well.

My granddaughter -age 2- loves all things Spot. This is a wonderful book, good story, lots of flaps to lift and lots mystery to help Spot find his ball. We have read it many times And each time brings joy and laughter. Good book for Spot lovers.

My 15 month old daughter LOVES the "Spot" books (with the flaps). The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because it's not available (at least when I ordered it) in the thick, board book! So, the book is flimsy and tears easily (we usually hold the book and turn the pages, so as to limit "tearing" opportunities). As she gets older, she knows not to tear the book anymore, so that will help the books last. We've had to reorder a few times but it's worth it...she gets so excited for these books every time we pick one up to read! And the best part is how she excitedly looks for the flap and gets such a sense of satisfation when she lifts the flap! I also like how it encourages kids to "think outside the box" since this book comes alive! We'll order and re-order these books until she doesn't like them anymore! I would recommend them to any parent!!!
