I had to read Bailey at the Museum, considering my dog’s name is Bailey and is even of similar height and coloring as Bailey in the book, though without the spots. In this Bailey book, Bailey’s class goes on a field trip to the Museum of Natural History. While there, Bailey doesn’t quite seem to get that it’s not a hands-on (or paws-on, or even teeth-on) exhibit. He gets caught up in exploring each stop and causes some problems. Well, my Bailey also likes to explore through chewing and putting his paws on everything so I can see this as quite a similar reaction to how he would act in a Museum in some respects. However, the book wasn’t very funny or endearing or particularly educational or quirky so overall I wouldn’t say it’s one of my more favorite picture books and I wouldn’t choose it to read to a group of a kids. If I thought they would like a book about dogs, there are many other dog books I would go to first, particularly with all the Clifford books and with books like Harry the Dirty Dog, a personal favorite. 2/5 stars for me on this one.

Bailey adds an element of fun to the museum field trip; a giggle a page;-)

Bailey is an adorable puppy who gets into some mischief on a school field trip with humans. He's not a bad dog, just a curious puppy. Nice illustrations and lots to look at.

Cute story, perfect to fit into New York week for story time. Bailey is a cute dog that kids will enjoy, and I liked the comic-style hybrid with the speech bubbles.

Bailey the dog is back again. This time he's not just getting ready for school: he's going on a field trip to the natural history museum. Being a dog doesn't make it easy to walk into a room full of bones, but Bailey does his best to follow the rules and learn along with the children of his class.
I want to give this one a fair review, but my first impression was a bit tainted by the fact that the copy I picked up had obviously been through a lot and was damaged to the point of being almost illegible at times. That has nothing to do with the overall quality of the storytelling, but as I'm writing this, I'm trying to remember anything unique or inspiring about this book, and all I'm coming up with is a few humorous moments--two specifically. I think in the right context, this could be a fun read. It would be a fun introduction to field trips, for example, and what not to do, but I was hoping for something more memorable.
