Jimmy Crow by Edith Francis Foster — Read

Such a fine circus! Jack and Bob went, but [Jimmy Crow] was left at home. The [two boys] bought [a bag of peanuts] and fed the [elephant] and [monkeys]. Jack put his [hand] full of nuts between the bars, and a little brown [monkey] pulled his [fingers] open and picked out the [peanuts].

Then they saw the grand parade in the big [tent] -- the [elephant], the [camel], the [giraffe], the [zebra], the [cages] with [lions], and [tigers], the [hippopotamus] and the [bear]. Then a pretty [lady] rode a white [horse], standing up on the [saddle] and waving a [flag]. Other horses ran races, and jumped, and walked upright. The funny [clown] tried to ride a little [donkey], and kept tumbling off.
