What is the best sense? For the kids in Ms. Frizzle's class, it's a sense of humor! But on their latest adventure, they learn about sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch, and much more!

When Ms. Frizzle leaves school before getting an important message, Mr. Wilde, the assistant principal, hops on the Magic School Bus to chase her. The class piles in after him, and before their day is over, they have tracked down the Friz — and traveled through an eye, an ear, a tongue, and even a dog's nose!

With clear text and vibrant illustrations, Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen take readers on their most sense-ational trip yet, providing up-to-date facts about the science of the senses in both the human and animal worlds.
