Margaret Sandresky writes, "The idea of using a circus theme to introduce young children to the pipe organ came to me through an old circus song, "Van Amburgh is the Man," sung to children in my family for generations. In "Piping at the Circus," I describe in verse some of the colorful circus acts and animals, and illustrate them with short examples of the pipe organ's distinctive tone colors." In this charming work, the narrator reads short and clever verses in alternation with the organ's response.
