This was a cute story. Instead of Gaspard and Lisa playing a joke on their classmates they end up being left at the museum. What do you think it feels like to be left in a museum in the dark? Luckily, they came back to look for them so they can return home safely. Lovely book from the beginning to the end. ( )

Gaspard and Lisa take a field trip with their class to the natural history museum. They get mad when some of their classmates tell them they look like museum exhibits. To get back at them, they pose as exhibits, which results in them getting locked in the museum! Again, the illustrations are the stars of the show. . . the cover illustration of Lisa with a comforting arm around Gaspard is so adorable. The image of the tiny Gaspard and Lisa being dwarfed by gigantic dinosaur bones is just enough to convey a sense of fright and peril. But all ends well when the class comes back to rescue the two animals. ( )

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375811176, Hardcover)

Gaspard and Lisa try not to turn adventures into misadventures, but it's hard. Especially when the whole class gets to go on an exciting field trip to the Museum of Natural History. What wonders lie within! A whale skeleton, monkeys, and dinosaurs thrill the students, but the exhibit of extinct animals is the most exciting of all. When their classmates make a silly joke about the two friends looking like extinct animals (they are dogs; the classmates are human), the cunning canines decide to gently retaliate. They hop into the extinct animal exhibit themselves, making small signs--"very rare animal (white)" and "very rare animal (black)"--and freezing like statues in the display. Their ruse is a success! Or is it? Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben's Gaspard and Lisa books are all very slight stories, but with such quiet, charming details and unbearably cute (yet gorgeous) illustrations that they completely charm our socks off. Don't miss another favorite in the series, Lisa's Airplane Trip. (Ages 2 to 6) --Karin Snelson
