Silly Mrs. Millie is at it again! In the fall, she takes her kindergarteners on a class trip to pick pumpkins for their harvest party. The class has fun guessing the meanings of their favorite teacher’s nonsense words. They go on a dragon (wagon) ride, pet the boats (goats), and drink apple spider (cider). Coupled with hilarious artwork in pen, pencil, and colored dyes by Joe Mathieu, the lighthearted text sets a class trip on its ear, even as it teaches a subtle lesson in wordplay. -Amazon
This, the third in the Mrs. Millie series, was greatly aided by the fact that here in eastern MA, there are abundant pumpkin patches as well as corn mazes in the fall. It was nice to get Mrs. Millie and her class out of doors.
