This isn't your typical circus, but the eccentric members of the colorful Foskett clan all have talents and when they perform, people enjoy the show.

You'll meet Uncle Decimus, who performs with his parrot on a scooter, and Philbert who is really good at juggling eggs. Aunt Esmerelda not only has taught the family pets to do tricks, but she has gotten them to sing together also. Then there are Jess and Bess. Their bag of tricks includes making little critters jump out of a hat and out of a sleeve of a costume.

Whether they are on stilts six inches off the ground or doing somersaults, the Foskett family are entertaining and fun to watch. Youngsters three and older will delight in these wacky characters' antics and the humorous rhymed text.
