The class trip to the farm starts out ordinary. Then Jimmy’s boa constrictor comes along.
Before long, the farm is full of slapstick confusion: animals are upset, lunches are in danger, and one unexpected pet is at the center of the commotion. The story unfolds with the funny feeling of a child explaining a disaster after it has already happened, making every detail more surprising than the last.
Trinka Hakes Noble’s comic storytelling and Steven Kellogg’s expressive illustrations turn a school field trip into a wonderfully chaotic picture book. It is a great match for readers who like snakes, farm animals, school stories, and laugh-out-loud chain reactions.
