Books in Magic School Bus Chapter Book series

Hi, I'm Dorothy Ann, one of the kids in Ms. Frizzle's class. When we started learning about volcanoes, I thought we'd just be studying them in books--but Ms. Frizzle had other ideas. She took us all the way to Hawaii, where we waded through lava and saw a real volcano blow its top. We had a great time--even though the trip was sometimes almost too hot to handle! One thing's for sure: This was one explosive adventure that none of us will ever forget!

Ms. Frizzle is the weirdest teacher around. And when it comes to field trips, Arnold is her most reluctant student. An outing on the Magic School Bus can be torture for Arnold, and there is just one thing that could make it worse: his cousin Janet. When his know-it-all relative's visit is combined with an all-wheel learning adventure, it is sure to be a school day Arnold won't soon forget. the Friz is always hungry for adventure, and that's just what the class gets. With so much to learn about ecosystems, even Arnold finds himself eating up all the food-chain facts.

When Carlos brings a mystery rock to school, he hopes Ms. Frizzle will tell him what kind of rock it is. But the Friz doesn't like to tell when she can show....That's how the class ends up on a wild rock hunt in the Wild West, trying to solve a mineral mystery! They take a stagecoach ride, pan for precious gems, and even explore an old mine. Sure, the going gets a little rough at times--but this road trip rocks!

When Wanda brings her new ladybugs to school, she just wants Ms. Frizzle to give her some hints on caring for her insect pets. Instead, the whole class gets a field trip. They find out pretty quickly that lots of insects eat other insects for lunch. There is the eight-legged issue of spiders, too. And when Wanda's two ladybugs get lost, the class is on a mission to save the innocent bugs. But is there more to ladybugs than Wanda suspects?
