Review
It’s a fall reunion at Pokeweed Public School, which has been
transformed into a “high-tech” kind of place. Unfortunately, not all
goes according to plan. When the new fire alarm rings, the new automatic
sprinklers flood Principal Slugmeyer’s office, and the new door locks
keep everyone else outside. A perfect time for a first-day field trip,
capped with a visit to the Big Scoop Ice Cream Factory.
This delightful book accurately reflects current school realities and
makes clever connections between the characters and their environment.
The colorful and detailed illustrations nicely reinforce the playful
story. Highly recommended.
