It starts off as an ordinary class trip to the farm—boring, kind of dull.
But before very long, chaos takes over as one zany incident leads to another, even zanier, one. Soon the entire farm is uproariously out of control.
Steven Kellog's full-color pictures prove an ideal match for Trinka Hakes Noble's droll cumulative tale in this slapstick romp.
Trinka Hakes Noble has, with The King's Tea and Karin's Christmas Walk, established herself as a talented new illustrator for children's books. Now The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash reveals that she is also a fine comic writer. Ms. Noble submitted the story without pictures because she felt that it could be more appropriately illustrated in a style different from her own. Steven Kellog's wonderfully zany drawings provide the perfect compliment to her text.
