Captain Calliope and the Great Goateenies

Book 7 in the award-winning Bailey Fish Adventure series brings an improbable circus act, consisting of a goat, pot-bellied pig and rooster to the neighborhood. Captain Calliope leaves the animals in the care of Bailey and his friends, and mysteriously disappears. Other dramatic moments occur when the boys' foster sister learns about her birth aunt, and Bailey is startled by her mother's plans. Historical aspects include the early circus in America and the ballet of the elephants in 1942.
