The Circus Is Coming by Hillary Knight - picture book purchase

My purchase experience of an authentic 1978 original first edition publication of the Golden Book titled THE CIRCUS IS COMING! was perfect! The description of the condition of the book was more than accurate. The price was appropriate and the book was promptly mailed and delivered in just a few days! I would definitely recommend purchasing used or hard to find books from this site! Thank you! DBL

Fun interactive read with beautiful illustrations

My almost 4 year old daughter enjoys this book at bedtime. There are lots of interesting things to look at and something different will catch her eye each time. In the back there are suggestions of things to look for in the book, but we haven't tried that yet.

I love this book!

My sisters and I had been looking for this book for years but couldn't find it. It had been our favorite book when we were children but we couldn't remember the name or author. I knew that if I ever saw the book, that I would remember it...and I did. I ordered this book for my sisters and I and let me just say that it is EXACTLY as I remember. The illustrations are just beautiful and I think this is a wonderful book for any child to have. I just had my first child and I am soooooo happy that he can now have the same book that I fell in love with as a child. I recommend this to anyone who can appreciate the beautiful and fun art.

Hilary Knight Draws Beautifully

He's best known for his illustrations of the "Eloise" Books, but these paintings are a masterful representation of his lifetime love of the circus and his craft as a master painter. I am honored to have had him ask me to write an "afterword." Paul Binder Founder and Artistic Director Big Apple Circus
