[Catherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

For me, this read aloud has the perfect tone and tension to red to a classroom full of very young children before a field trip. This is perfect through about First grade. It hits on the important points, such as what to do if you lose your group, lightly and with humor.

Quite well done, with rhythm and rhyme and a great moral to the tale. A great book to read to the kids before their first school excursion.

This might be a good book to read before a field trip - and Maddie still hasn’t ever been on one, thanks to the pandemic.

[Hope Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a great book to read if your class is taking a field trip to teach them the importance of stying together. Also, it would be a great book to read while doing a lesson on animals. You can explore each of the animals in the book.

Field trips are easy? Not always! This adventure will be a test of patience for a teacher and a learning lesson for a student all while enjoying a field trip.
