Ilene Cooper (Booklist, Oct. 1, 2001 (Vol. 98, No. 3))
Miss Bindergarten and her kindergarten class are on the road for a field trip, and what a trip it is. The bakery is a sweet stop; the fire station is the place to learn a safety tip and watch Miss Bindergarten slide down the pole. At the post office, the kids learn about stamps, and at the library it's time for a good book. Then there's a picnic: the final spread shows the kids, the chaperons, and, of course, Miss B., munching, slurping, sharing lunch on the park green. As with the other three books in the series, this one is made for group sharing. The bright pictures are large enough so everyone can see them, and there's plenty going on in each spread, either something kids will already have done or wish they had. For an extra bit of oomph, the final spread shows the species-diverse class holding up posters in all the various shapes that they have seen through the day. School-days fun. Category: Books for the Young--Fiction. 2001, Dutton, $16.99. Ages 3-5.
