When the circus comes to Willow Grove, Benny and Sam are in for more excitement than they can shake a stick at: elephants and acrobats, candied apples and a calliope, even a snake enchantress. They can?t think of anything better than helping the circus men set up for the grand event ? until the Big Top boss gives them two tickets for the show But then Sam's ticket disappears, and it's up to Benny to save the best day ever.A tribute to the great occasions and small gestures that children will remember for a lifetime, this boisterous tale about fun and friendship is enlivened by David Gordon's jubilant illustrations.
