Rating: ★★★★★

Genre: Children’s lit

Medium: Hardcover

Synopsis: A little clown accidentally gets left behind from his family.  What happens when a farmer finds him?

Review:  This book.  Is.  So.  Cute.  I’ve spent so long trying to figure out why picturebooks have the ability to just make me melt into a puddle and weep.  And, moreso, how can a book with no words can do that?  Well, this one does it, folks.  And it’s because it’s so pure and wholesome and just GOOD.  The storyline, the colors, EVERYTHING.  Which, by the way–the colors.  I just love how the palettes of the two characters–muted, earthy tones for the farmer and bright, fun tones for the clown–come into play with each other and create a connection between the two characters as the story progresses.

Basically, I love this book, and I will probably be emotional about it for a very long time.
