Ms. Frizzle's Adventures: Medieval Castle

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bruce Degen. Ms. Frizzle and Arnold (of Magic School Bus fame) travel back in time to a medieval castle where they find themselves part of a siege. Cole includes a lot of information, but the oversize book lacks the liveliness and much of the humor of the original series. The detailed illustrations feature a stronger line and darker colors. Readers will enjoy the absurdity of the situation and will absorb information painlessly.
