When Mrs. Inkydink announces a class trip to the farmers’ market, Clark is so excited he doesn’t listen to her instructions. “Hurrah, hooray, it’s time to play!” Clark gets lost in the crowd and has to use his rhyming to remember what Mrs. Inkydink said to do.

With colorful illustrations from Guy Francis and lively text from Bruce Hale, this Level One I Can Read is perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 1—Clark the Shark is back and going on a class field trip to the farmer's market. All he has to do is remember and follow the three rules Miss Inkydink tells them, but talking when the teacher talks means you can't hear the instructions. Clark can't help but be distracted and get separated from his class during the field trip, but all ends well when Clark remembers the directions and avoids disaster. The book finishes with some "bite-sized" shark facts, delicious! Readers will love sinking their teeth into Clark's newest adventure, with its colorful illustrations, lots of white space, and engaging story line. VERDICT A great addition for easy reader sections.—Melisa Bailey, Harford County Library System, MD
