Sandy’s Circus: A Story About Alexander Calder

"A friend wound up the gramophone to start the music. Sandy boomed a greeting to his audience in the voice of his wire ringmaster Monsieur Loyal, announcing the performance was about to begin. On his knees, this bear of a man worked the springs and strings and levers of his clever creations, making them leap, run, and dance." With colorful illustrations and accessible text, this book tells how Alexander Calder came to build and perform his miniature circus. Author's note. Sources. Full-color illustrations.
