Three and a half stars. Very quick read with great illustrations that draw one into the story. A great mean baddie who learns his lesson. Wild adventures on a circus train and a lovely reunion and all is well. I look forward to more from this series. I think they will be loved by kids. Algonquin keeps it high editorial quality as it moves into children's books. I'm delighted to see this new expansion and wish them well.Thank you to NetGalley for offering me a chance to read this new title. ( )

Cute and silly story of a kind circus master looking for a replacement. Some silly puns and visual jokes will make kids smile. ( )

Three-Ring Rascals: The Show Must Go On! (Book 1) by Kate Klise, illustrated by M. Sarah Klise, is a cute book about circus life, complete with talking animals, feats that defy gravity and the laws of physics, and a scoundrel, which is due for publication in September 2013. Sir Sidney’s Circus is a story about redemption and about being true to your friends, but it’s also about the surprising things that can happen when you’re not looking.
