  A quick read that works cutouts to help slowly build up the climax of the story and keeps children interested since the first page which is just a bunch of eyes looking out of the black night.
  
  The story is for developing young readers who are probably in the middle of learning to pack as the story is much longer than starters while has a few words that they may need help with. Some words or phrases have been put in bold while others appear in italics. Furthermore to help young readers a good chunk of the story is repeated whether it is the formulaic action or the repeated comments of the animals.
  
  Each page is fully illustrated, detailed and brightly colored for as much as a night scene as you can get. The cutouts once they have gone past their purpose just add an artistic element from the page before like almost all other types of books like this before it.
  
  To me I feel that children should really enjoy this book and have some fun with it, especially on the first read-through when they have no idea who got dropped off in the middle of the night.

  A good read aloud book for encouraging children to make predictions while reading. Though I still wonder why anyone would put a bear in a shed.

  This was a very fun book to read to my 3 year old granddaughter... anticipation as to what the animals saw was fun. AS you turn each page you can see an eye, a mouth, etc until you turn the page and see the circus bear! My granddaughter said "AHHH! " then giggled. Pretty easy book for an independant beginning reader as well.
