Customer Reviews

From the back cover of the book:

This lively book is the next best thing to a choice seat at a three-ring circus. Professional clown Sanders provides everything needed for entertainment except the usual bag of peanuts and popcorn. He shares information with amateurs so they may learn how to assemble costumes, apply makeup, work with animals, perform alone or with partner, become expert at balloon sculpture and know how to handle an audience. There are line drawings to help visualize, along with suggested scripts and a checklist of necessary items for tricks and puppetry. An invaluable aid for leaders of youth or families who share projects.

Who is this clown?

Is this about that clown who cut me off on the freeway yesterday? Or maybe it's that fat clown who got stuck in his movie seat right in front of me...perhaps it's the collective clowns who run this country... I tell ya, they're all a bunch of compleat clowns.

for an older book--it is excellent

The newer books was hard to understand--this book made it easy and it had alot of useful information--excellent book!!!!

An exlelant book for beginners and pros alike

I have read and reread this fine book on clowning. Also other books on clowning I 've read use this book as one of their sources, a must have for all Clowns and Clown want-2-b's. Toby Sanders writs this in clown and this is helpful in understanding just how a clown thinks. Its great.
