THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS
Lost in the Solar System
by Joanna Cole ; illustrated by Bruce Degen
On their fourth scientific field trip, Ms. Frizzle and her class tour the planets--with extra humor provided by a know-it-all visitor, and suspense added when "the Friz" is inadvertently left behind in the asteroid belt.
An amazing amount of information is delivered in this cartoon format, supplemented by crisp student reports and Degen's comic illustrations.
First-rate science in a delightfully appealing package.
