Ms. Frizzle and her class look at a dead log teaming with life. This book is based on the MAGIC SCHOOL BUS series written by Joanna Cole.
Quick Summary
Ms. Frizzle shrinks her students down to explore a decomposing log, revealing the hidden world of nature's cleanup crew. Kids will love getting grossed out by slimy mold, wiggly worms, and tiny bugs turning a dead tree into nutrient-rich soil. If your kid loves the "Magic School Bus" TV show and enjoys gross science facts, they'll be obsessed with this up-close look at nature's recycling process. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders who are curious about how the natural world works.
