Reviewed Titles Tree Ring Circus	Adam Rex Reviews Added March 13, 2007 Tree Ring Circus Author: Adam Rex Illustrator: Adam Rex Publisher: Harcourt, Inc. Available At: Bookstores Everywhere Publishing Date: June 2006 Genre: Children: Storybook Format: Hardback Price: $16.00 ISBN-10: 0152053638 ISBN-13: 9780152053635 Reviewer: Sharyn McGinty Rating: 8 Gargoyles What starts out as a simple story about a tree outside of town grows into a tale of epic proportions as blue jays, squirrels, a circus clown and other creatures (including a whopping big bee) all climb onto the tree's branches. As you turn the page, yet another creature (or two) has taken refuge within the branches and one wonders if the tree will remain standing. While not one of my personal favorites, my children adore this book. Often squabbling over who gets to read it next, Tree Ring Circus is definitely one of their favorites. I can't complain too much as the book offers plenty of counting practice and it keeps my children thoroughly entertained. Hilarious and full of laughs, Tree Ring Circus shouldn't be missed.
