"There's a sucker born every minute" is frequently attributed to P. T. Barnum but was actually stated by a competitor amazed at how many people fell for Barnum's "humbugs." From his American Museum and exhibits, including the Living Skeleton and Tom Thumb, to his famous three-ring circus, Barnum certainly was America's greatest showman. Bibliography. Web sites. Source notes. Index. Black-and-white archival prints, photographs, and decorations. A 2010 ALA Notable Children's Book.
