This is a cute book about a boy whose whole family is a circus and they can all do amazing things but the boy can't. He does take care of the family dog that preforms in the circus and does very talented tricks. One day the dog is about to preform but then he sees a mouse and drags the boy along on his journey chasing the mouse. Then the boy does lots of cool circus tricks while he is chasing the dog and then the boy becomes famous at the circus.

I liked the under-appreciated protagonist finding a way to get the respect he deserves, and this book delivers on that. The illustrations are okay, though I am a bigger fan of a more realistic illustrations. I liked everything though. ( )
