Scotton, Rob Splat and the Cool School Trip, 40
pgs. Harper Colling, 2013. $17.99. PICTURE BOOK.
Splat can’t wait for the school field trip! They are going to the zoo. Splat loves the zoo but Splat especially loves
the penguins. Splats friend, Seymour the
Mouse, wants to go to the zoo with the class. Splat won’t allow Seymour to come
because he might frighten the elephants.
Seymour is disappointed when Splat leaves him home but is determined to
find his own way to the zoo. While at
the zoo, the class visits the giraffes, the monkeys, and the elephants. Splat waits impatiently for the chance to see
the penguins. An unexpected twist to the
story creates mayhem at the zoo which shuts down the penguin exhibit. Splat returns home disappointed at missing
his chance to see his favorite animal.
But Splat is in for a big surprise and adventure in his own home when it
ends up being “Penguin Day” after all.
The incredible illustrations in this fun book are big and bright. All
readers will thrill to see the pictures page after page. This would be a fun book to read prior to actually going on a field trip to the zoo!We loved this book! Pre-K.
