Reviews
This wordless picture book in Hare's ""Field Trip"" series is simply enchanting. Hare is an exceptional pictorial storyteller. . . . This book ignites questioning, summarizing, decision-making, and evaluating for emerging readers. It also invites viewers to become storytellers. Educators and caregivers alike will love sharing this title, an excellent book for all. --School Library Journal (starred review) Fans of this tale should be sure to embark on other journeys with Hare. . . . A tongue-in-cheek tribute to the spirit, not to mention the occasionally life-saving value, of sharing. --Kirkus Reviews This fourth installment of the wordless picture book series (Field Trip to the Moon, rev. 9/19, and sequels) raises stakes even higher than previous excursions. . . . A notable addition to Hare's kindhearted and captivating science-fiction picture-book series. --The Horn Book
