Take Cat Keep Off! Dog now
Water for Elephants is an engrossing story about life in an early 1930’s, depression-era traveling circus, but is also about so much more. Jacob Jankowski is presently ninety or ninety-three (he doesn’t recall) and living out the end of his life in a nursing home. He has family who visit, but they are busy enough with their own lives that he is largely forgotten. A circus comes to town and Jacob thinks back on his own youthful experiences.
I appreciate the story’s realistic portrayal of early 20th century circus life. The animals live and work in conditions that are horrific, but at the same time they are the lifeblood of the show next to the human performers and are therefore treated well enough to that extent. The author, Sara Gruen, mentions in an interview that many of the anecdotes in the tale are plucked from real life accounts. (For example, an elephant stealing lemonade from the lemonade stand when no one is looking.) Truth is stranger than fiction, indeed.

I am very happy with my Hoover SteamVac! It has done a great job on my carpet and I am so glad that I bought it through Amazon because they had a low price. It was delivered very quickly and easy to put together. I have had a little problem turning it on with my foot–peddle you must press down on at the bottom of machine–sometimes it works and sometimes it will not press down, so I use my hand. I have two dogs and light carpet so it did a great job and my carpets look like new!
