Mayhem at the Museum
What happens when Yuri accidentally unleashes a catastrophe at the dinosaur museum?
During a visit to the dinosaur museum, something terrible happens. Yuri is startled and bumps into a giant brachiosaurus skeleton. What massive mayhem! At first it feels as if things will never be the same again. . . But then Yuri remembers the best way to deal with difficult situations: take a deep breath and ask for help. The result is something more magnificent than anyone could have imagined!
In her dynamic story, Hannah Brückner shows how creative and unexpected solutions can be found, even when the worst happens. With a fine, fresh touch, she captures the world of the museum in sophisticated and humorous detail.
Be sure to share this one before—or after—a museum visit. Warmly witty fare that will elicit smiles from anyone who’s ever committed a public gaffe.
