Ms. Frizzle's Adventures: Ancient Egypt

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Bruce Degen. On school vacation, Ms. Frizzle leaves the kids behind to take a time-travel trip to ancient Egypt where she leads a gaggle of her fellow tourists around the sights (and sites) of the Nile valley. This venture into history, in a larger format than the Magic School Bus books, is too diffuse and disorganized to be as effective as that series, but there is lots of information, detail-packed paintings, and sometimes frantic humor.
