What is a Flea Circus? It is an entire big top circus in miniature. Up first is Fifi, who performs on the high wire and trapeze! Then there is Bruno, the world’s strongest flea who turns over a coin in a child’s hand! Last but not least is Fernando, who does the high dive into a pool of water and gets shot out of a cannon and into a volunteer’s hands!! The audience will be thrilled and amazed at these and other incredible demonstrations starring Ed’s trained fleas.

Bernadette has a great life. At least, that's what it seems like. She's got a loving husband and a brilliant daughter. Something about it isn't satisfying to her, though. Despite it all, she finds herself longing for the creative passions of her younger years, when she was an acclaimed architect. In a sudden, life-changing decision, she disappears from home and begins work on an architectural project in Antarctica. The project is rife with difficulties: long nights and busy days, but as a mother, she's up for the challenge.

Through vivid stories of devoted pigs, two-timing magpies, and scheming roosters, The Inner Life of Animals weaves the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world with Peter Wohlleben's personal experiences in forests and fields.Horses feel shame, deer grieve, and goats discipline their kids. Ravens call their friends by name, rats regret bad choices, and butterflies choose the very best places for their children to grow up.In this, his latest book, Peter Wohlleben follows the hugely successful The Hidden Life of Trees with insightful stories into the emotions, feelings, and intelligence of animals around us. Animals are different from us in ways that amaze us-and they are also much closer to us than we ever would have thought.
