Illustrated by
Kevin O'Malley.
In her fifth book, Miss Malarkey takes her class on a science center field trip. They don't exactly have the scientific experience she'd hoped--instead they learn that there are "cool hair dryers in the bathroom" and "gift shops aren't cheap." Though a lot of the humor--especially in O'Malley's illustrations--is directed toward adults, children will enjoy the familiar characters and story line.
