I love the illustrations that play with the audio!

We've been slowly going through and buying the audible books from the With Synchronized Images category and have found that some are mis-categorized and don't have images. This one DOES have the original illustrations and we just love it! This was one of my favorite books as a child and I love that I can share it with my kid!

Misleading Title

The story was well written with good character arcs and plot development, however at no point did Jimmy's boa eat the wash. I feel like this was an oversight.

Kids, kids, kids!

An exciting field trip is detailed to one mother as her child declares the day was rather boring. A series of animal mishaps occurs when a pet boa visits the farm along with the school children.

The pictures make this a perfect read.

Funny

I think it's very funny and if you skip 30 seconds over and over then it's just so hilarious 😂

YES -- Pictures in the Audible App!

We recently discovered these kids audible books that have the illustrations in a slideshow as they listen to the stories on their fire tablets in the app. My boys (5-11) are all LOVING discovering their favorite stories over again with Audible! These are a STEAL!

A good, funny story!

Child requests this book all the time and delights in the raucous, and largely goodhearted, adventures of the field-trippers.
