Sarah Jane Hartwell is back with a whole new grade-school challenge: a
class trip to the zoo.
After the stress of her last attempt at taking her class on a field trip
(seen in First Year Letters), Mrs. Hartwell has a plan for an upcoming
trip to the zoo--a plan that includes lots and lots of rules. Armed with
her foolproof field-trip tips, she's determined that absolutely nothing
will go wrong. Sure enough, her students prove that they can line up
straight, walk quietly, and take plenty of notes--but everyone soon
realizes that the hotly-anticipated trip is becoming a letdown. Can Mrs.
Hartwell save the day from herself?
