Incredible Cover-to-Cover Illustrations

The amazing illustrations reveal a drab gray world that transforms into a "circus of color" when what appears to be a bum picks up a red clown's nose and tries it on. The wording is simple and occupies a small portion of the full-page, dramatic works of art (which literally go cover-to-cover). It has a Cirque du Soleil kind of spirit and although the build-up is better than the finale, it is a feast for the eyes and the imagination of a child.
