It's time for a field trip! Board the yellow time travel bus and blast into the Jurassic past in this new wordless picture book in the Field Trip Adventures Series by award-winning creator John Hare.
Volcanoes smolder. Towering dinosaurs munch leaves from the trees. And this class is going to see them up close--maybe way too close!
When a rascally kepodactylus snatches a student's lunch box, the student gives chase and gets it back but also becomes separated from their class. They decide to eat their lunch while waiting to be rescued and end up sharing it with friendly dinosaurs. But when the dinosaurs suddenly disappear, the student is left face to face with a gigantic crafty carnivore who doesn't just want that slice of pizza for lunch! Fortunately there is a surprise rescue and the student makes it back to the time travel bus where human friends are waiting with snacks to share.
With engaging artwork and lots of laughs, John Hare's wordless picture book is sure to captivate readers with its expressive characters and winning story. Don't miss out the rest of the Field Trip Adventure series and join the class for Field Trip to the Moon, Field Trip to the Ocean Deep, and Field Trip to Volcano Island!

K-Gr 2--School field trips can be great adventures or horrible disasters. Hare seems to understand that they can also be both at the same time. Students on a special time machine spaceship are transported back in time to Dinosaur Valley. They are amazed at all the creatures they see. One of these prehistoric animals steals a lunchbox, and when the student attempts to get it back, he is successful but falls off the spaceship and is left behind. With nothing else to do, the student decides to eat his lunch. When he attempts to do so, the unexpected happens. This wordless picture book in Hare's "Field Trip" series is simply enchanting. Hare is an exceptional pictorial storyteller. He guides viewers through his sequence of illustrations; these tell one specific story and are also open to different interpretations. This book ignites questioning, summarizing, decision-making, and evaluating for emerging readers. It also invites viewers to become storytellers. VERDICT Educators and caregivers alike will love sharing this title, an excellent book for all.--Laura Ellis
