[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.

[Kylie Abecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

[KaitandMaddie · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.

Raymond: I don't like this book because it has long words and symbols I don't know!

[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.
