How does the magic school bus fly?
Usually the Magic School Bus is an ordinary, rather beat-up school bus. But once it "transforms" on a field trip, it can change into anything that will serve Ms. Frizzle's purposes. The Bus has become a spaceship, a submarine, a blimp, something small, green and surprisingly frog-like, a weather machine, and more. When you're on the Bus with the Friz, you never know what's going to happen next!
What type of animal is Liz and where does she live?
Liz is a lizard. A lizard unlike any other, to say the least! In the wild, lizards live in all types of different environments including deserts, rainforests, and mountains. Liz spends most of her time in the classroom helping Ms. Frizzle with her unpredictable bus adventures!
