K-Gr 2—The protagonist from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to School is back in a new adventure, this time at a museum. Young Henry works his way through the museum, trying to rejoin his classmates, creating havoc all along the way. While running from a herd of buffalo, he knocks down a dinosaur and puts it back together in his own stylish way. Henry also washes a whale, trims a woolly mammoth's hair, makes balloon animals for a Neanderthal family, and finishes a few paintings. He doesn't consider himself an artist, but nevertheless a line of people gather to see his work. Chaud's cartoon illustrations have a surreal, sometimes chaotic feel to them, and readers will enjoy following Henry's dog through these scenes as well.
VERDICT Best for one-on-one sharing and for fans of the series.
