“Big Top Burning” by Laura
A. Woollett; © 2015, Chicago
Review Press; 167 pages
————
BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER
For months now, you’ve
been growing out your hair.
One day, it will be long
enough that you can become
an aerialist who hangs by her
locks, looking like a midair ballet artist. And if that
doesn’t work, you could be a
lion tamer, for sure, or maybe
a clown. But no matter what
you choose, read “Big Top
Burning” by Laura A. Woollett
and stay safe.
In the middle of World War
II, when resources and money
were both scarce, a trip to
the circus was a huge treat.
Families sometimes saved for
months for the chance to see
big cats, elephants, trapeze
acts and clowns.
That was the case for many
residents of Hartford, Connecticut, when the Ringling Bros.
and Barnum and Bailey Circus
came to town that day in early
July 1944. Everyone was excited — even the government
knew the circus was good for
morale — and they quickly
took their seats on bleachers
or in fold-up chairs lined up on
boards.
“More than 6,000 people
attended the circus on that
hot July 6 afternoon,” says
Woollett.
The Big Tent (which was
www.missourivalleyshopper.com
“massive” and weighed over
75,000 pounds) filled quickly
with circus-goers, clowns
and horses, bears and lions,
tigers,Visit our Web site at
chimps and elephants.

sensitive young readers. Just
be aware because, even for an

be a hair-raising book.

out, the air smelled like
popcorn, and the afternoon
promised to be a fun one.
It’s likely, then, that few
people noticed the tiny flame
on the side of the tent in the
corner by the men’s room.
Those who did probably
thought the circus workers would take care of it;
fires were pretty common at
circuses at that time. The tent
was waterproofed with wax
and gasoline, but nobody gave
that much thought…
… until the fire spread, and
so did panic. Screams filled
the air and circus-goers raced
for exits, some of which were
blocked by animal chutes. A
few people escaped beneath
the circus tent. Others fell
to the ground and were
crushed. Within 10 minutes,
the Big Tent had burned to the
ground, injuring more than 480
people and killing 167 people,
59 of which were children
under age ten.
But how did the fire start,
and who were the people
whose bodies were never
claimed? The answers to
those questions are still
unknown…
It’s summertime. Who
wants to read history
books in the summer,
anyhow?
Give your child
“Big Top Burning,”
and rest assured that
he will.
With a sense of
urgency and just
the right setting in
time, author Laura A.
Woollett presents this
true story in a way
that will resonate well
with the age group
for which this book
is intended (10 & up).
I was riveted by the
personal accounts
of this tragedy, and
I think the lingering
mystery at the end
will capture kids’
