IF I RAN THE CIRCUS by Dr. Seuss

The main characters are Mr. Sneelick and Morris McGirk. The setting is Mr. Sneelock's store and the vacant lot behind the store. The plot is McGurk's imagination. The problem is McGurk's dream is not real. The end of the sentences rhyme.

My favorite part of the book was when McGurk greeted everybody and they were going to like it.

The funniest part of the circus was when Mr. Sneelock does every trick. The book was long.

I would not recommend this book to both boys and girls ages 2-6.
