Customer Review:
After reading Water Wars and going back through some things in the book I believe that many people will find this book interesting and informative.

from Scholastic
Customer Review:
I had a wrong view about the school bus series - I just didn't like the school bus always being in the books and shows and then Ms. Frizzle wasn't my favorite character. So, I never really watched or read one of these movies/books.
We got this book at a yard sale and my 4.5 year old loves it. I... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I like Mr. Glennon's book very much but I did think the writing style was just a little dry.
