It doesn't matter whether you're a boy or a girl, small or tall, an only child or a grandmother – you can be a clown. Nothing is required but you!

Inside you is fantasy, music, stories, wonder, laughter and tears. You can use all of these, and your body is capable of all sorts of strange things. Maybe you like doing gymnastics or karate jumps? Perhaps you are the master of making funny faces that cause others to crumple up with laughter? Maybe you like to blow soapy bubbles that fly off into the distance?

Do you want to try clowning? This book contains tips for creating your own clown circus, and instructions for how to juggle, balance and do magic!

Come on – let's clown around!
