Top 5 Magic School Bus

Makes a Rainbow: Honestly this one was always my favorite was because I love rainbows. So man colors and Ms. Frizzle shares how the color spectrum interacts with the eye and how we perceive color. Which is a good thing too because they need to know their rainbow magic in order to help Ms. Frizzle save her arcade game from the Principle.

Takes a Dive: This book introduces another infamous Frizzle ancestor, her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-greatgrandfather Red Beard was a pirate and for their field trip, they’re gonna find his sunken treasure! On the way they turn into various sea animals and learn about aquatic ecosystems and symbosi.

Wet All Over: The group takes a field trip through the water cycle and is quite memorable to me for how they end up in the water faucet, scaring Arnold’s poor crush for life.

Going Batty: Ms. Frizzle’s outfits are always creative but this one takes the cake during Parent-Teeacher Conferance Night. No wonder Ralph is convinced that Mrs. Frizzle is part of the vampire spieces. Of course, he’s seen one too many Dracula movies but the kids and parents learn a bit about bats, ecolocation and more on the way.

Gets Cold Feet: Liz has disappeared and the kids are sure Ms. Frizzle know where the lizard is and follow her to a upscale terrenium hotel where they not only learn a bit about Liz’s biology but that of all other cold blooded creatures.
