It's class trip time and a little boy and his friends are visiting Washington, DC. But this little boy has trouble keeping his feet on the ground. A series of mishaps―sometimes good and sometimes bad―sweep him from the White House and Lincoln Memorial to the National Zoo and many other national landmarks.
Adventures abound in this wild tour through Washington, D.C. Children will enjoy this exciting and funny introduction to our nation's capital city.

Margery Cuyler is the author of many books for children, including From Here to There, The Little Dump Truck, the chapter book Weird Wolf, and That's Good! That's Bad! The idea for the first book in the series came from a conversation with her son, Thomas, who asked, "Can't bad things change into good things?" Ms. Cuyler grew up in the oldest house in Princeton, NJ, and started writing stories as soon as she learned how to write. She now lives in the same house with her husband, sons and two cats.
MICHAEL GARLAND has written and illustrated many picture books. He lives with his family in Patterson, New York.
Kindergarten-Grade 2—Cuyler's third "Good/Bad" title involves a field trip to the nation's capital. The young protagonist is trouble from the moment he boards the yellow DC Duck bus, through his whirlwind tour of monuments and the zoo, to his final splash into the Tidal Basin. Each brush with bad luck, however, is immediately reversed in the next action. This book is not as tightly constructed as Remy Charlip's Fortunately (S & S, 1984) or even as visually interesting as David Catrow's illustrations in the previous titles in the series. Even so, its bright digital palette, wildly skewed perspectives, and multicultural cast of kids with oversize heads will attract the Nick Jr. crowd—especially if their families or schools have planned or just returned from a jaunt to DC. The sound effects and refrain allow plenty of opportunities for audience participation. Purchase where geographical interest dictates.—Wendy Lukehart, Washington DC Public Library
