Why read it?

1 author picked If You Ever Want to Bring a Circus to the Library, Don't! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a big fan of Elise Parsley’s books, so of course, I had to read this one when it came out. My kids and I laughed a lot while reading this. Magnolia wants to set up a loud and messy circus, complete with a human cannonball routine in the library. The kids quickly pointed out that this goes against commonly accepted library behavior – though, of course, it takes Magnolia quite a while before she notices that everything is wrong with her plan.

From Viviane's list on the magic of libraries.
