Dad demonstrates that it's never too late to shine in the spotlight in this quirky book about following your dreams. "The circus is in town!" Dad roared. "And we're all going to see it!" Audrey and Zach are still half-asleep—and can't help stifling yawns—when Dad bursts in with his announcement. Dad is so excited, he starts practicing daring stunts before they even leave for the show. Under the big top, Dad's enthusiasm is downright embarrassing, and Audrey and Zach suspect it has something to do with the generation gap. But even they could never guess just how carried away their dad is going to get! With striking graphic artwork by one of Israel's top illustrators and comic-book artists—splendidly showcased in a double gatefold spread—an acclaimed Israeli author brings his talents to the world of picture books for the first time.
