Kirkus Review
A chaotic class trip to the farm is pictured with Kellogg's usual delight in disorder and related backwards, as it were, by a child whose report to her mother gets wilder and wilder as it unwinds: "" 'Why were [the pigs] eating your lunches?' 'Because we threw their corn at each other, and they didn't have anything else to eat.' . . . 'What was Jimmy's pet boa constrictor doing on the farm?' 'Oh, he brought it to meet all the farm animals, but the chickens didn't like it.' . . ."" Those who respond to this sort of whipped-up frenzy can trust Kellogg's clever twists to keep the action from flagging. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
