Why this book counts

  • Life Science
  • Environment & Ecology
  • Story / Adventure

The class's escape from a great white shark turns shark biology and aquarium observations into the stakes of a Magic School Bus adventure. Readers have to distinguish what the animal is, how it behaves, and what the story exaggerates in order to follow the peril.

The science inside

  • Animals & Zoology
  • Oceans & Marine Life

Your child will meet:

  • Sharks are fishes with body structures and sensory adaptations suited to life in water.
  • An animal's movement and feeding behavior should be interpreted from evidence rather than from a frightening reputation alone.
  • An aquarium is a managed habitat whose boundaries and care differ from an animal's open-ocean environment.

Use it this way

After the escape, make a two-column list of shark evidence and adventure exaggeration, requiring a page or picture clue for each entry. Emphasize that real sharks and aquarium animals are observed only from approved distances and that no child should enter restricted water or attempt to touch, feed, or provoke one.

Parent effort: Quick discussion

A class trip to the aquarium winds up in the depths of the ocean as Ms. Frizzle's class must escape the jaws of a great white shark! During their adventure, Ms. Frizzle teaches the class about different shark species, including the goblin shark, angel shark, whale shark, and others.
