luann's review against another edition
3.0
I don't remember ever reading this one as a young child, but I'm glad to have read it now. It's certainly your trademark Dr. Seuss book with lots of interesting, fantastical creatures. Young Morris McGurk is planning to open a circus in the vacant lot behind Sneelock's Store. In his Circus McGurkus he will feature such creatures as a Drum-Tummied Snumm who uses his tummy for a drum; a Wily Walloo who can throw his tail as a lassoo; a Juggling Jott who juggles question marks, commas, and also one dot; and many, many more. Throughout it all, Mr. Sneelock is helping out, sometimes risking life and limb - although young Morris McGurk is sure he won't mind. As with many Dr. Seuss books, this tends to go on a little long, but still very enjoyable for any and all Seuss fans.
