Sandy's Circus: A Story About Alexander Calder

A book grandparents can read to their grandkids

Love the book.

This is a super book about Alexander Calder. The kids loved it and it sparks so much imagination! I highly recommend it for a home or school library. It really shows kids that even they can do great things, and the sky is the limit!

This books is a super cute children's biography of Alexander Calder's life. I used it for a pre-k summer art camp I taught and loved it so much I bought one for my house!

I have used this book in my classroom for 2 years now. It is a great biography for kids. My students are second graders and we learn all about Alexander. We create wire figurines to make our own circus and it is a great conversation starter or writing project book. The illustrations are also beautiful.

I have purchased this book many times for gift giving and have a copy for myself. The story and the illustrations are beautiful. If you're a fan of Alexander Calder, this book is a must have. Beautiful.

Love the illustrations, the colors! My art students love this book. It has given them inspiration for their artwork.

This is a fabulous book about Alexander Calder. I used it with my students--the little ones 4-5 year olds in Art Class and they really enjoyed it. It's application could be used with older students as well to inspire sculpture or mobile creation.

It is nicely presented beautiful illustrations but extremely basic. I was hoping to be able to demostrate to the children not only what he did but why, or something insightful about him and the way he worked. Even the year of life and work are missing, the period... I do not think it is good to regard young readers as stupid..!!

Was looking for a book about the circus for my classroom and this was perfect. Connected the artist life ofCalder with my circus theme.
