Class Trip by Robert Munsch

Hijinks and silliness abound during a class trip to the museum in this latest story by Canada’s best-loved and bestselling picture book duo, Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko.

Stephanie and Sean’s class goes on a trip to the museum, where they get to watch baby chickens hatching. That gets them wondering what might be hatching out of the bigger eggs nearby.

Then they ask the museum guide to show them the biggest egg in the museum. When they find it, they see that whatever was inside has already hatched, so the kids decide to have a little fun and hatch a scheme to prank the rest of the class.

ROBERT MUNSCH started telling stories when he was teaching in a daycare, to get the kids to settle down. Now he is Canada’s number one author for young readers with more than 80 books in print, including such bestsellers as The Paper Bag Princess , We Share Everything!, So Much Snow! and Love You Forever. Every one of his stories was first told aloud to children — and each one is dedicated to the kid who inspired the story. He is a member of the Order of Canada, has a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, and is a hero to generations of young readers. In 2021 he was nominated for the prestigious international Astrid Lindgren Award. Robert Munsch lives in Guelph, Ontario. Visit him online at http://scholastic.ca/munsch/.
