Description:
"Field trip! It's early April, and Miss Mingo's class is hiking up to the local observatory to learn about weather. Alligator's mother is along for the day, and a new student, Groundhog, joins Hippo, Panda, Frog, and the others on what they hope will be a "perfect weather" day. But weather can be changeable as the quirky critters from Miss Mingo's room find out all too soon."--Dust jacket.
Review Quotes: Packed with fascinating details and realistic classmate interactions, it's a treat for animal lovers.
--Publishers Weekly
Harper's watercolor-and-ink illustrations marvelously convey emotion as well as personality... The appealing story and wide array of weather facts make this a breath of fresh air to round out and add interest to weather units that are heavy in nonfiction titles.
--Kirkus Reviews
The watercolor and ink illustrations add a splash of color and humor to the story. The individual personalities and feelings of the characters are evident by their expressive faces. The story is supplemented by brief facts about animals and the weather.
