Ms. Frizzle's Adventures: Imperial China (From the Creator of the Magic School Bus) Hardcover – July 1, 2005

I got this for my son, who is very curious. Though this book is far fetched at times, like the Magic School Bus series; kids tend to really want to read these books. It is well illustrated and factual - The main information could be used to do a report on Imperial China.

Why did they ever stop making the videos? Ms Frizzle is incredible. Little kids says the best things when they watch and read Ms Frizzle. My son tells me about bees and how they eat with their proboscis. He reads about China and tells me about things that I thought were just a note. Truly magical.

Very good book - owned it before, wanted copy for my clinic practice.

My students were intrigued by the story and the facts presented in fun ways. For a used book, it is in excellent condition and well worth the price.

By far my daughter's favorite MSB. She is 6 and just devours this book time and time again.... Arnold is really is really funny in this one. I would definitely recommend this book!

great book. my daughter loves it. adventure and history all in one book. if you love the magic school bus series, you will love this.

In a perfect world, all teachers would be like Ms Frizzle--innovative, creative, fun, entertaining, challenging, and totally free-spirited! Ms Frizzle has no rules, no plan like NCLB to follow. She is free to take her students on the best learning expeditions! And such a small class!But this is not a perfect world. This is a fantasy, but what a great fantasy: "Ms Frizzle's Adventures: Imperial China," a rare social studies trip instead of the usual Magic School Bus into some world of science.The Magic School Bus series is part of those wonderful children's books that begin with the end pages--in this case, Chinese illustrations--and look, there are Ms Frizzle and her pet dragon. We meet Ms Frizzle and four of her students studying Chinese scrolls on the title page, flying a kite on the dedication page. Her Chinese student Wanda invites Ms Frizzle for New Year's Eve at her house.Of course, as they are walking along the streets of Chinatown, they walk back 1000 years to China to the time of Wanda's ancestors. This will be a grand Ms Frizzle adventure. They will see places, experience the culture, learn new things--all in a colored picture story. In a separate column across the bottom of both pages are blocks of historical "sound bites"-- Silk, paper, umbrellas, dragons, chopsticks, lanterns, writing, tea, compass, the Great Wall, fireworks, jade, and so on.Illustrated children's books are not just for children, especially adventures with Ms Frizzle, that talented, inspiring teacher in her trademark dresses that designate the adventure!
