For most parents, children being interested in the circus is a normal part of life. For the Dullards, though, it's an emergency! It's bad enough the Dullard children are reading books instead of the nice blank paper they were given, but books about lions and tightrope-walking? What's a pro-boring family to do? Clearly they're in a bad neighborhood. It's moving time. But between the neighbors visiting and colorful wallpaper, will the Dullard family be able to find a place dull enough to protect their children from bad influences? I was reading this aloud to our seven year old son while my guy was putting away laundry, and he couldn't help but get sucked in, even without the visuals. There are so many good jokes in this book. We did show him a few pages, though, so he'd get more of the experience. My seven year old had recognized straight off that Salmieri was the artist of Secret Pizza Party, another one of our favorite kids' books. We love his zany style, and the facial expressions on the characters in this book are hilarious.
