Although Calder would never call himself an artist, he invented the mobile as a form of moveable art and created giant sculptures that can be seen all over the world. 'Sandy' (Alexander) first became famous for his creation of a moveable and 'magical' circus. People came from miles around to see Calder make his minature circus figures perform. For the young reader who loves to create,'Sandy's Circus' is an inspiration.
