A Funny Thing Happened at the Museum . . .

This wonderfully wacky chapter book, part of a popular series by Davide Cali and Benjamin Chaud, follows Henry, a notoriously unreliable narrator, as he attempts to rejoin his class at a museum. What starts as a simple task quickly escalates into an outrageous adventure, complete with fantastical dangers like erupting volcanoes and charging dinosaurs, all brought to life by Henry's vivid imagination. It's a perfect read-aloud for ages 4-8 and an engaging independent read for 7-11, celebrating creativity, humor, and the power of storytelling. Parents will appreciate the engaging text and dynamic illustrations that encourage imaginative play and conversation about what's real and what's imagined.

There's more to this museum than meets the eye! This is the wonderfully wacky world of celebrated international author-illustrator team Davide Cali and Benjamin Chaud, the duo behind Junior Library Guild selections I Didn't Do My Homework Because . . . , The Truth About My Unbelievable Summer . . . , and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to School . . . . Notoriously (and delightfully) unreliable narrator Henry is late to a museum where his class is spending the day. 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.
