(2) K-3 Illustrated by Bruce Degen. In what is perhaps the best volume yet in the popular series, the new assistant principal jumps into the Magic School Bus's driver's seat as the class tries to catch up with Ms. Frizzle after school to relay an important message. The class explores the five senses as the bus shrinks and travels through a police officer's eye, a boy's ear, a dog's nose, and onto Ms. Frizzle's tongue and into her nervous system.
