Pandemonium breaks out at the science museum as Twitch, the popular squirrel from 8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel ÷ 1 Dog = Chaos, hitches a ride in a backpack on a school trip.
Twitch the Squirrel sets off chaos during the school trip to the science museum before being smuggled back out in a student's wheelchair in this raucous chapter book with over 50 comical illustrations! Inside the museum, Twitch turns exhibits such as the Bernoulli air pressure table, the Foucault Pendulum, a dinosaur skeleton, and a model of the Mars Rover into his private carnival rides--then there are the messes he makes in the gift shop and employee lounge. In a final chapter, Newton and Galileo, two science room geckos, explain the science exhibits at the museum further.
"Schoolyard squirrel Twitch has scientific questions but no answers, so he joins a class trip to the Galileo Museum and Science Center. . . . Chapter-book readers will both recognize his quirks, including his preoccupation with food, and enjoy a sense of superiority in their wider understanding. For this third title in a series that began with 8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel ÷1 Dog = Chaos (2011), the author-illustrator pair have perfected their formula for entertainment—a limited perspective, slapstick humor, and nonstop action. . . . This field trip to remember will appeal to eager chapter-book readers, fans of talking-animal stories, and teachers looking for an engaging read-aloud."—Kirkus Reviews
