About this audiobook

Recipient of the E.B. White Read Aloud Award, Chris Van Dusen has made a name for himself as an acclaimed author and illustrator. In The Circus Ship, a very special craft is carrying all manner of circus animals. But when it nearly sinks, out spill all the animals. Luckily, they make it to a nearby island. And there they happily settle in-- until the mean old circus owner tries to round them up.
