Synopsis

Young Morris McGurk dreams of transforming the vacant lot behind Sneelock's Store into the marvellous Circus McGurkus—the most colossal, stupendous show on earth! With fantastical creatures like the Drum-Tummied Snum and the Juggling Jott, and the unassuming shopkeeper Sneelock as the daring star, Morris's imagination knows no bounds. Dr. Seuss's classic tale celebrates youthful creativity and the boundless possibilities of the mind.
