Sleepover at the Museum by Karen LeFrak – ADVISABLE

Sleepover at the Museum by Karen LeFrak, illustrated by David Bucs. PICTURE BOOK. Crown (Penguin/Random House), 2019. $18.  9781524771409

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Mason is having a birthday party/sleepover at the local natural history museum. Part of the fun is a scavenger hunt with his two best friends, during which time Mason is supposed to decide which hall they are going to sleep in for the night. Most rooms are too scary and still others Mason has random problems with. But first they must solve all the riddles!

This is a fantastic book for reading before a natural history museum field trip. It features maps of the building and will pique students curiosity. It could lead to an after field trip assignment of writing about which place they would want to sleep in overnight. The artwork is top notch and readers will have fun trying to figure out the clues along with the characters.
