Patrick at the Circus

And two series nearly 40 years apart in origin receive new additions. In Patrick at the Circus by Geoffrey Hayes, part of the Adventures of Patrick Brown series, the excitement mounts as the bear family goes to the circus and Patrick's father, a former performer, stands in for the clown who's just quit. Even Patrick gets in on the act, running into the ring to nab the mischievous monkey who has stolen his father's wallet. (May)
