In this exciting new book about ancient Egypt, Ms. Frizzle parachutes into the arena of social studies with the same zest she has always shown for science.
After joining a tour group headed for Egypt, the Friz is soon the one in charge. She and the group parachute into the past, where they help build a pyramid and witness the making of a mummy! Leave it to the Friz to inform us that ancient Egypt was the first civilization to use writing in every area of life and that the pyramids provided jobs for people and were not built by slaves.
With Ms. Frizzle as their guide, young readers will be eager to discover the enchanting world of ancient Egypt. Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen, the duo behind the Magic School Bus, are known for making information accessible. Cole's entertaining, fact-filled text and word balloons and Degen's boldly colored, humorous illustrations have once again made learning easy and fun.
