Extraordinary Jane by Hannah E. Harrison - ADVISABLE

Harrison, Hannah E.  Extraordinary Jane  Dial Books, 2014.  $16.99  PICTURE BOOK  Content: G.  

Jane is an ordinary dog that feels ordinary around all of her amazing circus family and friends.  Her siblings can shoot themselves out of cannons or walk tightropes, but Jane cannot.  Jane tries many different circus acts and fails.  Lucky for Jane the ringmaster appreciates her because she is a very good dog.

This is a cute story that teaches the moral that being yourself is enough.  The illustrations are fun with circus acts depicted in bright colors.  There are only 1-2 sentences per page spread, so it’s a quick read with a good point.  

EL (K-3)-ADVISABLE.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
