TITLE: THIS FIELD TRIP STINKS!

AUTHOR: Becky Scharnhorst

ILLUSTRATOR: Julia Patton

​PUBLISHER: Flamingo Books/2022

OPENING LINES: ​
September 28th
 
Dear Diary,
 
This morning, Mr. Grizzly announced we’re taking a field trip. I thought we’d study stars at the Planetarium or dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum. But we’re going to study plants and animals…IN THE WILD!
Everyone was excited.
Everyone except ME!
I’ve read enough books to know nature is FULL of poisonous plants, creepy crawlies, and ferocious beasts!
 
P.S. Isn’t our class wild enough?

​In this second book in the series, readers are reunited with anxious Stuart, this time when his class takes a field trip IN THE WILD! Stuart is not thrilled at the prospect of “poisonous plants, creepy crawlies, and ferocious beasts!” But he gives it a try and, despite some mishaps and with the help of his friends, Stuart returns home with a new appreciation for nature (or at least s’mores). This book is as adorable as the first. Becky Sharnhorst’s epistolary-style text works perfectly to capture Stuart’s anxiety and gradual acceptance of at least some parts of his field trip experience. As Sharnhorst sprinkles humor in Stuart’s journal entries, Julia Patton creates humorous and expressive characters and wild-life situations. Readers will be laughing out loud with Stuart and his friends in THIS FIELD TRIP STINKS!
