The Field Day from the Black Lagoon (Black Lagoon Adventures #6) - by Mike Thaler (Paperback)

About the Book

There's just one week until field day at the Black Lagoon and Hubie is going to be ready. But getting in shape in one week is harder than he thinks, especially when the workout kit he has seems to be for chickens. Full color.

Book Synopsis

Another fun chapter book about field day and sports from the dynamic duo of Mike Thaler and Jared Lee - just in time for summer!

The Field Day is one week away, and everyone has to go. But Hubie would rather go home! Crazy Coach Kong is making up all the events, like leaping over lions, hopping over hippos, skipping through snakes, and tiptoeing around tigers. Will it be a field day or dreams or a field day of screams?
