PrefaceCommunication is one of the most important elements between a parent and child. When we communicate, we not only share information, but we can share our time, and we can share ourselves to foster closer and stronger relationships. Reading together is one of the most cherished ways that an adult and child can communicate with each other. Through reading, a parent and child can begin to cultivate a lifelong relationship enhanced by their shared experiences through literature. Murphy Dog at the Circus, the second book in a series by Christian Sidle, is a book that can be shared and cherished by adults and children alike. This book, like Murphy Dog Bedtime Story before it, communicates a strong, positive message that to believe in oneself is a powerful tool for achieving and being the best one can be. The Murphy Dog books share this message in creative and interesting ways that teach children that reading and believing are values to behold. Christian Sidle has once again offered up a story of fun and dreams that will forever be a pleasure and joy to read. Dianne Lynn's original watercolors lift the story off the page and into the expanses of the imagination. Mr. Sidle's playful prose, with the beautiful artwork and elegant book design communicates the valuable message that reading, especially the Murphy Dog series, is a delight to be treasured by all generations.
Happy reading.

| In the book Murphy Dog at the Circus I like how the words rhyme. It takes you through every step from the car ride to seeing popcorn, cotton candy, burgers and fries topped with cheese, games and small painted faces to seeing the show and then the car ride home. It takes you through each step of Murphy's adventure. Murphy Dog is a positive influence for everyone, it's simple; he is okay with who he is and where he is. The story is very detailed and fun to read. - Justin Westfall, 5th grader, Ithaca, NY |
| Very imaginative --- I like the way Murphy Dog seems like a real person when he is really a dog. I also like the dictionary and how the story rhymes. Murphy Dog is the best character ever. - Eryn MacNeil, 3rd grader, New Philadelphia, OH |
