Field Day
Nick Butterworth
Hardcover
(Delacorte Books for Young Readers, June 1, 1991)
Front flap: Yahoo! It's Field Day! Hoops, bean bags, spoons! Running races and wheelbarrow races! But will it rain? Sam and Tracy and their friends have waited for days for the big event. When it finally arrives, there is more than enough activity to keep kids of all ages and abilities entertained. Even the dads get involved. And when it does rain, it's not enough to dampen youthful enthusiasm. With the same kind of frolicsome good humor that made The School Trip so inviting., Nick Butterworth and Mick Inkpen have created a story of universal appeal. Competition is dandy, but this is a field day where everyone is a winner.
