Experience the Big Apple’s Circus of the Senses
Moses and his family are going to the circus. Not just any circus but the Big Apple’s Circus of the Senses! In a single ring, there are acts by trapeze artists, acrobats, elephants, horses, and clowns – all specially designed for the deaf and hard-of-hearing and the blind. Moses’s little sister, Renee, isn’t deaf but is learning sign language, and Moses loves teaching her the signs for their day at the circus.
Isaac Millman takes readers on a wonderful outing in pictures and written English and in American Sign Language (ASL). Detailed diagrams of the signs are included so that readers can learn along with Renee. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
PreSchool-Grade 2-Moses, who is deaf, attends the Big Apple Circus's Circus of the Senses for vision- and hearing-impaired children with his family. Although the story is slight, the experience is rich: readers uninitiated to the deaf community are offered plenty of new concepts to process, including public entertainment adapted for the deaf, along with illustrated instructions for communicating in American Sign Language. Moses Goes to a Concert (1998) and Moses Goes to School (2000, both Farrar) involve deaf-school field trips. The family setting in Circus gives the affable child, already a joy to identify with, another facet in common with the book's hearing audience and allows for the introduction of Moses's baby sister, who is not deaf but who is signing before she can speak. Cheerful watercolor illustrations, almost exclusively on spreads, reflect the largeness of a circus and accommodate, without burdening the layout, the many boxes in which Moses models ASL. Millman successfully projects deafness as an aspect of a healthy, positive individual.

Very focused on the deaf children's community in a positive and appropriate light. Useful for Deaf classrooms or for hearing classrooms that are learning about their d/Deaf peers. |
