Mrs. Shepard’s class is taking a field trip to Farmer Fandangle’s organic farm.  23 students and chaperones go over the rules.  Right away, they count only 22 – one missing.  Juan is found examining the sign, which is the beginning of the tour.  Farmer Fandangle guides them past each area on his environmentally frieindly farm.  Throughout the tour, chaperones continually count students in a variety of mathematical ways.  Juan is always missing, but is found seeking out the next point on Farmer Fandangle’s tour.  On many pages, readers can count the students in groups, which add up to 22!  Thor Wickstrom’s ink and watercolor illustrations are playful, colorful, and show all the action 23 students, chaperones, and animals can have on a farm field trip!
