We really like this author! A circus ship sinks at sea. The cruel ringmaster lets the animals to drown. Fortunately the animals swim to a nearby inhabited island. At first the residents are not pleased but when the tiger rescues a little girl from a fire, they embrace and welcome these creatures. The ringmaster hears that they survived and comes to bring them back. The townspeople help them hide. This one page is fun to try to find the camouflaged animals!
The story is loosely based on a circus steamer that caught on fire at sea in 1836.
