Flea Circus
Encouraging children to not judge by appearances, this story portrays a group of fleas who decide to start a circus. From Anuska on the trapeze to the Mighty Marusz--strongest flea in the world--this beautifully illustrated book follows clowns, acrobats, jugglers, and cannonball fleas as they perform death-defying stunts and amaze fleas from all over the world.
