 Circus - Performance artists - Dog - Friendship
 Bernardo and his little dog Canelo return home very impressed from a circus performance. While
 Bernardo has his mother sew him a costume and begins to practice juggling enthusiastically, though rather
 unsuccessfully, Canelo begins his training in secret. When he disappears one day without a trace, the
 intensive search ends finally at the circus with a happy reunion. Fernando Krahn tells this story step by
 step in easily understandable pictures that would be clear even without the brief text. The black-and-white
 illustrations have flat overlays in the basic colors of red, yellow and light blue in the style of the 1950s. This
 makes for a bright and cheery tale. (3+)
