Toby Tyler or Ten Weeks with a Circus: A Radio Dramatization Audiobook

" One of my grade-school teachers used to read to us every day and I remember listening to this and enjoying it. I think I probably re-read it myself at least a few times. I suspect we would find it very dated now. "

" How could I not read a book with one of my children's names in the title? And it's also titled Ten Weeks in the Circus! The story itself is pretty charming, and old fashioned. I think it could have been half as long and still been as effective in the story. "

" I didn't read it but someone read it to us in class in primary school in Belgium. I saw the movie and I loved it. "

" I liked this book as a kid, so decided to read it again as an adult. Not quite as enjoyable, but still pretty good. :-) "

" Nostalgic... brings back memories of my childhood, as well as of an era long before I was born. "

" It was my mom's book. Great escapist read. "

" I loved this book as a kid. Probably why I have a lifetime longing to run away and join the circus. Very appealing to the imaginative child. "

" HAVEN'T WE ALL WANTED TO RUN AWAY TO THE CIRCUS. AREN'T WE ALL LIVING IN A CIRCUS ANYWAYS? "

" i liked it right up to the obligatory "homecoming scene". i woulda stuck w/the circus. "

" I hate clowns, but I loved this book! "

" One of my favorites as a kid. "

" This book has a lasting place in my memory as I remember my father reading it to me a chapter a night at bedtime. "

" My grandma gave me this book a long time ago. It was her favorite(she loved reading just like I do). RIP Grandma <3 "

" My kids love these books "

" If this is the first time you come across this theme, I guess it would be more enjoyable (i.e. for a child) but I found it a bit tiring - Toby regrets his decision pretty much the moment he makes it, so has not much fun with his adventure. "

" Since me and the kids all went to the circus I thought it would be a fun book to read with them, I read it back when I was in 4th or 5th grade and remembered liking it. "
