Circus in the Night Sky Author:Lauren Press After a day of joy at the circus, Sue is reluctant to give up the wondrous visions she?d like to carry forever. Later that night while lying snug in her bed with her pink balloon tied to her bedpost, she is able to recapture it all as she and her dog, Larry, relive the thrills together. On a soft cloud she and Larry are carried high above t... more »he earth and look down on the lights below. She wears her tall, red clown hat and has her balloon with her because Larry likes it, too. The moon welcomes them to the circus of the night sky. They are introduced to scenes of majestic circus animals playing tricks with balls; of floating, runaway balloons creating a panorama of brilliant color; of stars tinkling like bells. They are having fun and are wide-eyed, but finally are sleepy. One of the prancing ponies takes them back over a rainbow to home and bed. Lauren Press both wrote and illustrated this simple tale in a lovely manner, from a child?s view. Her professional work is as a costume designer for feature film, theater and TV productions; but, as a trained and gifted artist, she has enjoyed writing and illustrating several children?s books.« less
