Joseph Slate (Author), Ashley Wolff (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up | Series: Miss Bindergarten Books

Not only is Miss Bindergarten back, and well rested from having stayed home (in her previous book), she's stepping out with her kindergartners and two parent chaperones. They're visiting some fascinating sites in the neighborhood: the bakery, where the students see mouthwatering treats in the making; the fire station, where shiny, exciting equipment inspires everyone; the post office, where mail slots and post-office boxes amaze the students; and last, but certainly not least, the library-the place that offers the most possibilities of all! And then it's off to a class picnic to celebrate a morning well spent.

With the brisk, clever rhymes and buoyant, humorous illustrations that have made the previous Miss Bindergarten books so in demand, this inventive, entertaining field trip will freshen the eyes of kindergartners everywhere to their own neighborhoods.

Miss Bindergarten sure knows how to show her kindergarten class a good time! Today is field trip day and everyone's favorite canine educator has quite a few alphabetically enhanced adventures up her sleeve. "Adam's dad's a chaperone. Brenda's mom is, too. Christopher says, 'Hey, don't leave yet--a stone hopped in my shoe.'" With her lively, fidgety classroom full of alligators, beavers, and cats, Miss Bindergarten first sets out to visit a bakery, where her eager charges learn how to cut out cookies and squirt pink icing on "scrumptious chocolate cake." From there, the class goes to the fire station, the post office, the library, and finally, to the park for a picnic. Along the way, each child, in alphabetical name order, discovers something new: "Jessie learns Stop, Drop, and Roll." "Quentin checks the scale." Extra-perceptive readers will notice that the shapes Miss Bindergarten posts on her easel at the beginning of the day continue to show up throughout the field trip: circular cookies, rectangular letters, triangular sails in the library book illustrations, and a star on a ball at the park.

Joseph Slate and Ashley Wolff are the creators of three other popular Miss Bindergarten titles: Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten, Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th Day of Kindergarten, and Miss Bindergarten Stays Home from Kindergarten. Wolff's bouncy illustrations perfectly capture the very squirmy, active nature of kindergartners--more than one kindergarten teacher will recognize a few hippos, monkeys, and tigers from his or her own classroom. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Miss Bindergarten Adventure....., July 31, 2001

This review is from: Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip with Kindergarten (Miss Bindergarten Books) (Hardcover)

Join Miss Bindergarten as she and her wonderful alphabetically named animal class are off visiting community helpers on their first field trip. But before you turn that first page, take a look at all the different shapes on Miss Bindergarten's easel and see if you can find them as you read the book. First the class stops at the bakery where children learn to cut cookies and ice cakes. Then it's on to the fire station where they try on gear, ring the bell, learn to stop drop and roll and watch Miss Bindergarten slide down the fire pole. At the post office, the class looks at stamps and finds out where a letter goes after you mail it and at the library, they see what's new and catch up on story hour. Last but not least, they're off to the park for a snack before heading back to school..... Ashley Wolff and Joseph Slate have authored a wonderful interactive story your children will want to read again and again. Their delightful, humorous, rhyming text is complemented by bright, bold, expressive artwork that's full of busy detail and youngsters will enjoy finding all the shapes (circular cookies, square cake, rectangular envelope...) and letters in the pictures. Perfect for youngsters 3-6, Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip With Kindergarten is a charmer and a terrific new addition to this series.

Our three year old is an Animal Planet nut and he loves this book. He figured out the Alphabet sequence to the animals AND their names before we did! Unfortunatly we can not figure out what animal Quinton and a few others are.
