Ms. Frizzle's class is making a movie about ants for the school science fair. The Magic School Bus takes the class inside an anthill, where they observe ant colonies and how ants work together. The story features Ms. Frizzle and her students learning about ant behavior and teamwork.

Quick Summary

The Magic School Bus shrinks down to ant size in this field trip, letting kids see the underground world of an anthill from the inside. Readers will laugh at the wacky illustrations and feel their hearts race as the class narrowly avoids being squished while learning how ants communicate, build tunnels, and work as a team. If your kid loves the Magic Tree House series or any other Magic School Bus book, they'll be obsessed with this ant-sized adventure. Perfect for kids ages 5-7 or in kindergarten through second grade who want science that feels like a wild ride.
