The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash offers the same tension that is found in Dr. Seuss The Cat in the Hat. The story begins with a mother asking her daughter how her trip was to the farm. The girl says it was kind of dull until the cow started crying which leads the mother to another question and the daughter tells that the haystack fell on the cow...it continues with questions and answers that lay out what was suppose to be a nice, normal visit to a farm by a classroom. But turns into total chaos when Jimmy begins to introduce his boa to the farm animals and the chickens didn't like it.
The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash is written by Trinka Hakes Noble and illustrated by Steven Kellogg. The illustrations show the total anarchy that happens when Jimmy's boa is introduced to the animals. The story shows no punishment for Jimmy for causing the domino effect of so many bad things happening at the farm. He even comes home with a new pet, a pig!
