The authors manage to create a real story, that of a day at the circus, from expressions more heterogeneous than the others. The multitude of details and the dynamism of the images arouse the curiosity of children, who enrich their vocabulary with great pleasure. The concept is supported by the plastic quality of the dry pastel illustrations by ZAD, who interprets this zany song with a lot of pertinence.
