A Funny Thing Happened at the Museum...
by Davide Cali (Author)
Henry spins an imaginative tale to explain why he was late finding his class at the museum where they are on a field trip.
But he has a plan: He'll just catch up in one of the exhibits. That's not possible in these halls! With volcanoes erupting, dinosaurs charging, and secret stairwells lurking, reuniting with his classmates becomes a quest of outrageous proportions.
Young readers will revel in this entertaining book's over-the-top antics.

K-Gr 2--The protagonist from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to School is back in a new adventure, this time at a museum. Young Henry works his way through the museum, trying to rejoin his classmates, creating havoc all along the way. While running from a herd of buffalo, he knocks down a dinosaur and puts it back together in his own stylish way. Henry also washes a whale, trims a woolly mammoth's hair, makes balloon animals for a Neanderthal family, and finishes a few paintings. He doesn't consider himself an artist, but nevertheless a line of people gather to see his work. Chaud's cartoon illustrations have a surreal, sometimes chaotic feel to them, and readers will enjoy following Henry's dog through these scenes as well. VERDICT Best for one-on-one sharing and for fans of the series.--Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA
