Publisher Description
Spunky, sweet, and totally brave (mostly)! Louise Trapeze dazzles and delights emerging young readers.
Ladies and gentleman! Boys and girls! Feast your eyes on the one, the only, Louise Trapeze! Louise performs with her parents and her best friend, Stella, in the Sweet Potato Circus. And today is Birthday Eve! That means tomorrow, Birthday Day, Louise officially turns seven. Seven is old enough to fly on the real flying trapeze. The big one. The one way high up in the sky, that makes her stomach flop-flip at the very sight . . . Uh-oh! Could it be that Louise is not 100% fearless after all? Might she actually, gulp, be afraid of heights . . . ?
Perfect for fans of IVY AND BEAN and JUNIE B. JONES, Louise Trapeze is adorably illustrated in two-color by Brigette Barrager, illustrator of New York Times bestseller UNI THE UNICORN.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Louise is about to turn seven, and her parents are finally letting her perform on the trapeze with them as part of the Sweet Potato Traveling Circus Troupe. But Louise has a "deepest, darkest secret": "I, Louise Trapeze, am totally one hundred percent afraid of heights!" Ostow dots Louise's narration with italicized exclamations (Louise's favorites include "actually" and "Can you even?") that quickly establish her ebullient personality. Accented with pink, Barrager's scraggly line illustrations do a fine job of capturing Louise's enthusiasms and fears, as well as the eccentric circus setting. Ages 6 9.
