Jingle the Christmas Clown

Each year on Christmas Eve, Il Circo Piccolo—the little circus—performs for a tiny Italian village on its way to the big city. But the village has fallen on hard times and can't pay the performers, so the traveling circus must move on. The baby animals are tired, though, and need to rest. Jingle the clown—who is too little to perform with the big clowns—stays behind with the babies, and together, they decide to bring the villagers a little Christmas joy. This radiant new edition of dePaolla's 1992 picture book glows with the spirit of giving.
