Squirrel in the museum

Twitch, the schoolyard squirrel, returns to tell of his third adventure: secretly joining a class for their field trip to the science museum. Though he sneaks aboard the school bus without detection, the squirrel is soon discovered by museum guards, and a Keystone Cops–style chase ensues, with the staff befuddled, the students enthralled, exhibits left in disarray, and Twitch triumphant in the end. Infused with humor, the narrative offers the squirrel's point of view, but in settings familiar to kids. Björkman's lively ink drawings will bring smiles and even laughs. When a reader requests a short, funny chapter book, hope that this one's on the shelf. Grades 2-4. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.

When Twitch hears that the school children are taking a field trip to the science museum, he decides he wants to join in the fun--so he stows away on the school bus and hides in a backpack to get in. But as always, not everyone is glad to see a squirrel in their midst. Pursued by security guards, Twitch turns the exhibits into his own private carnival rides--swinging on a Foucault pendulum, riding a model Mars Rover, and skittering across the Bernoulli air pressure table. Just when it seems like there's no escape, Twitch's chaotic romp turns up some surprises for the museum staff. . . . and a friendly boy in a wheelchair saves the day for the squirrel, sneaking him back out. For aspiring scientists, Squirrel in the Museum also includes an explanation of the scientific exhibits Twitch encounters--as told by the friendly science lab geckos.
