There's no room for Nat's polar bear in her house. It seems there's no space for him anywhere. On a class trip to The Rooms in St. John's, Newfoundland, Nat wonders if they'll let Bear in. But the museum has room for all sorts of fun and maybe even a bear--or two!

"In Double Trouble at The Rooms, by Lisa Dalrymple, a class field trip offers plenty of excitement and surprises...The rollicking pace of the adventure is perfectly matched by the bouncy rhyming verse. Set in St. John's, Newfoundland, this picture book captures plenty of local flavour." The National Reading Campaign
