About This Book
Reach for this book when your child returns home with a wild story about their day or when you want to model how to remain calm and curious in the face of absolute chaos. It is the perfect remedy for a child who is worried about getting in trouble for things spiraling out of control, as it frames a disastrous field trip through a lens of matter of fact humor rather than shame. The story unfolds as a girl recounts her school trip to a farm to her mother.

The book captures the whimsical logic of childhood and the joy of a well-told story, making it an excellent choice for building narrative skills and enjoying a shared laugh over life's unpredictable moments.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. The 'peril' is purely slapstick and comedic.
Ideal Reader
An active 6-year-old with a big imagination who loves 'what if' scenarios. It is particularly suited for children who may struggle to organize their thoughts when telling a story, as the logical (if ridiculous) progression of events models narrative sequencing.
