The classic title that started the award-winning series! Join Ms. Frizzle and her students as they follow the trail of water, from its sky-high source to the school bathroom sink on this wet and wild fieldtrip. After parking the school bus on a cloud and shrinking to raindrop size, Ms. Frizzle's class gets to see the waterworks from the water's point of view.

The class of Ms. Carola learn about how water plants transform the water from the rain into tap water

I gave this book a five out of five star rating. Ms. Frizzle takes her class on a trip to the water works where they learn about water conservation, the water cycle, the water purification system and pollution, as well as the water mains. The book implements story telling elements to a scientific text which makes it easier to follow as well as more fun to read. This book could be a useful guided reading book for teaching sequencing and critical thinking towards water and pollution. ( )

This book could serve as a guided reading book when it comes to discussing characteristic events and sequencing. It also provides group conversation for water conservation and pollution. The author and illustrator choose to include story elements to a scientific text in order to make the book easy to follow and relatable. Because of this, the guided reading group could discuss how the author includes story elements and what kind of connections the reader has to the text and the story. As a guided reading book, I would take more time with it since it is longer and lengthier, however I think it provides multiple discussions for a group which is helpful. ( )

I gave this book a 5/5 star review. I think this is a really good book to focus on comprehension questions. It gives a lot of background information to explain what is going on in the book. As the book moves forward it gives you explicit instructions as to how this happens. It makes it so the students have to critically think about what is happening in the book. I think this is a good way to make sure your students are understanding what is happening in the classroom. I think that I would use this in my class to be sure that students are understanding the concepts. There is a lot of information around the text that students can read to get more information then the story has. There are a lot of smaller bubbles that explain more of the story. ( )
