Neitzel. Our Class Took a Trip to the Zoo

Our Class Took a Trip to the Zoo is a children's book by Shirley Neitzel, with art by Nancy Winslow Parker, published in 2002. It is available at the Internet Archive.

Here is a YouTube read-along:

As you can see, the story done in "rebus" as the events accumulate:

The child then tells the story again and we see the "mopping up" afterwards where zookeepers gather the pieces of clothing, a mechanic fixes the water fountain, etc.

This is not the greatest story, but it is a good model for how someone could tell a simple chain tale about a trip that they take to any place, and the rebus style is a fun one to use also, provided that you pick some things that are simple to draw, or maybe tiny image files that you can copy-and-paste digitally!
