The Magic School Bus Going Batty: A Book About Bats (Magic School Bus)

The class is learning about nocturnal animals—creatures of the night. But Ralphie decides Ms. Frizzle is a vampire, and he's driving the rest of the class batty. That's when the Magic School Bus grows wings and flies into an old castle. If they hang around bats for a while, will they find out the truth about Ms. Frizzle?

Author Joanna Cole and illustrator Bruce Degen make learning a spirited joyride, delighting young audiences with their fantastic journeys to the eye of a hurricane, the bottom of the ocean, and the center of the earth, to name just a few. Author and illustrator have said they were each inspired by an important teacher in their classroom days - very much like Ms. Frizzle! There are now more than 58 million Magic School Bus books in print, in a variety of formats, plus a wildly successful animated television series. Called "a can't-miss team" by School Library Journal, Cole and Degen live in Florida and Connecticut, respectively.
