The Magic School Bus is an engaging read for students who love science as well and reading. I like the Magic School Bus because it takes concepts that may be interesting at first but confusing to learn about, like hurricanes, and creates a piece that is engaging and informational. The students are led by Ms. Frizzle on field trips that are out of the ordinary and completely immersive. I would include this book in my classroom library for grades 2-4. Children of all ages can enjoy this story but it may be too complicated for younger ages to truly understand. Older grades such a 5 may be "too old" for the storybook format. (
