A Funny Thing Happened at the Museum . .
by Davide Cali (Author)
Henry spins an imaginative tale to explain why he was late finding his class at the museum where they are on a field trip.
But he has a plan: He'll just catch up in one of the exhibits. That's not possible in these halls! With volcanoes erupting, dinosaurs charging, and secret stairwells lurking, reuniting with his classmates becomes a quest of outrageous proportions.
Young readers will revel in this entertaining book's over-the-top antics.

K-Gr 2--The protagonist from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to School is back in a new adventure, this time at a museum. Young Henry works his way through the museum, trying to rejoin his classmates, creating havoc all along the way. While running from a herd of buffalo, he knocks down a dinosaur and puts it back together in his own stylish way. Henry also washes a whale, trims a woolly mammoth's hair, makes balloon animals for a Neanderthal family, and finishes a few paintings. He doesn't consider himself an artist, but nevertheless a line of people gather to see his work. Chaud's cartoon illustrations have a surreal, sometimes chaotic feel to them, and readers will enjoy following Henry's dog through these scenes as well. VERDICT Best for one-on-one sharing and for fans of the series.--Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA
