K-3
Illustrated by
Judy Love.
After a fiasco on their last field trip, Mrs. Hartwell takes her students to the zoo armed with her list of field-trip tips ("Foolproof Field-Trip Tip #3: Be prepared for delays. Food works"). The humorous story is accompanied by Love's caricature-like illustrations, created using ink and transparent dyes, capturing the preparation, bus ride, and students working on their observation sheets.
