Feeding the Flying Fanellis is a series of poems all based around around a Circus chef and the performers he cooks for. There are all the characters you would expect from a circus including the ringmaster, clown, human cannonball, tightrope walker and many more.
Ok so first and foremost the illustrations in this were INCREDIBLE. I mean seriously I looked through this 3 times just to look at the pictures. They are amazing. It really gives the circus feel but not in the kindergarten circus kind of way... if you know what I mean.
Second the poetry is outstanding. I thought this book of poems was done in such a creative way. One poem flowed to the next and told a story of a very special chef and the crazy circus performers. You can pick out and read any poem by itself or read it all in one long flow. Either way it works! The poetry is not overly complicated so even younger children should enjoy this.
My son loved the pictures and if I changed the page too fast before he had a really good look he would demand I scroll back a page. He loved looking at all the different foods. His favorite of the poems was Little Blue who is a dog that performs tricks.
Both the poetry and the artwork were solid 5 out of 5 stars!!
