The Magic School Bus

The Magic School Bus is an American edutainment media franchise that consists of a book series, a TV series, and several video games, among other things. Each of the stories within the franchise centers on the antics of a fictional elementary school teacher, Ms. Frizzle, and her class, who board a "magic school bus", which takes them on field trips to unusual locations. Craig Walker, vice-president and senior editorial director at Scholastic Co., stated that the concept began with the idea of combining science with fictional stories, and <a href="/c/books/credit/218303/joanna-cole/">Joanna Cole</a> (who had written both science and humor before) and <a href="/c/books/credit/393388/bruce-degen/">Bruce Degen</a> were then approached with creating such a series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_School_Bus
