Peydayesh is the publisher of the book originally printed in 2012. It has been translated by Sarvar Kotobi.

“We’ve all had enough of your clowning about...it’s not funny!”

Every morning, before school, Bill dresses in baggy trousers, a silly blue wig and a red plastic nose, as... the Great Bilbo!

But clowns belong in the Big Top, not in the classroom, and everyone is getting really fed up with Bill's clowning! Then Mum takes Bill to a real circus, and the Great Bilbo discovers that being funny is a serious business...

All the fun of the circus is in this hilarious story from the author of “Dog on a Broomstick” and “Dognapped!”
