Ordinary lessons? Not in Miss Frizzle's class! With the Magic School Bus, after every lesson, the children get to see with their own eyes what is written about in their textbooks.
In this book, they end up inside the human body. But there is no need to worry, because the bus became very, very small during this, so the owner of the body didn't even notice anything. And the children, in order to get out of there and not harm their friend, had to remember everything their teacher had told them.
A visual story with jokes, digressions, and bright pictures, supplemented with notes and diagrams, will allow a child to much more easily remember, and most importantly, understand how the human body is organized.

From the publisher

Welcome aboard the Magic School Bus!

The children, together with their unusual teacher Miss Frizzle, take a lesson about the human body and visit a science museum. But on the way back, the magic bus shrinks, and almost all the children end up inside one of the students along with the bus! Two parallel stories begin here—inside the boy who swallowed the bus, and inside the magic bus that the boy swallowed.

The students travel inside their classmate's body, see what they studied in class, and have to figure out how to use it to get out!

From the stomach, they enter the small intestine, then the bus enters a blood vessel, where the readers will get to know plasma, red and white blood cells, and the heart's artery. From there, the whole class, dressed in surgical gowns and masks, flows with the blood cells and fresh oxygen to the brain. They descend into the bones of the spine, explore the nerves to see how muscles work, and then, finally, exit through the nasal cavity (during a sneeze).

A visual story with jokes, digressions, and bright pictures, supplemented with notes and diagrams, will allow a child to much more easily remember, and most importantly, understand how the human body is organized.

The book is suitable for children from seven years old.
