Young Henry, the protagonist from The Truth about My Unbelievable Summer (2016) and several earlier adventures, arrives late for his class field trip to the museum and decides to catch up by moving quickly through the exhibits. Prompted by his teacher, Henry later recounts being charged by a triceratops, making balloon sculptures for some Neanderthals, encountering a volcanic eruption, breaking apart a dinosaur skeleton, and becoming lost in an Escher-like stairwell leading to a basement full of “unfinished” art. As in the earlier titles, the story’s humor derives from the contrast between the deadpan text and the chaotic scenes depicted. “I discovered a way to reach them [his class] really quickly,” Henry relates, as illustrations show him climbing into a catapult, flying through several exhibits, and landing next to the waiting bus. Chaud’s busy, slightly retro-style illustrations depict Henry and a dog pal progressing calmly from one calamitous situation to the next. Similar in tone to Denys Cazet’s Are There Any Questions? (1992), this will be popular with tall-tale fans.— Kay Weisman
