Synopses & Reviews
Experience the Big Apples Circus of the SensesMoses and his family are going to the circus. Not just any
circus but the Big Apples Circus of the Senses! In a single ring, there are acts by trapeze artists, acrobats, elephants, horses, and clowns - all specially designed for the deaf and hard-of-hearing and the blind. Mosess little sister, Renee, isnt deaf but is learning sign language, and Moses loves teaching her the signs for their day at the circus.
Isaac Millman takes readers on a wonderful outing in pictures and written English and in American Sign Language (ASL). Detailed diagrams of the signs are included so that readers can learn along with Renee.
Review
"Richly detailed double-page spreads and the simple, descriptive text make room for boxed sequences showing Moses demonstrating [sign language] to learn...A colorful depiction of a loving family and its entertaining day at the circus that has much to offer in elementary-school applications." --
