Review of 'If I ran the circus' on 'Goodreads'

Not one of his best books and nowhere near as good as if I ran the Zoo. The rhyming felt muddled and I found myself falling over some of the lines as they just weren't as smooth as usual. The feeling of the circus was there, all those bright colours and amazing stuff going on and the "Roll up! Roll up!" style calls in the rhymes.

Did feel a bit sorry for poor Mr Sneelock at times though, poor overworked fella.
