I am Phoebe, a student in Ms. Frizzle's class. This time, we went to Antarctica, the southernmost tip of the Earth. The ecosystem in Antarctica is so interesting—it's where adorable penguins grow, and there are also icebergs and ice shelves. By the way, Arnold was assigned a special task by a penguin mother this time, which was hilarious!
Hey! My name is Phoebe, and I'm a student in Ms. Frizzle's class. You might have heard of Ms. Frizzle (we sometimes call her "Ms. Frizzle"). She's an exceptionally great teacher, though a little quirky. Science is her absolute favorite, and she's never been stumped. Ms. Frizzle takes us on many field trips with the Magic School Bus. Believe me, everything is magical. As long as you're on the Magic School Bus, you'll never guess what strange things will happen next. Ms. Frizzle often surprises us. And we have a way to guess what special thing is going on in her head—just look at her outfit!
One day, Ms. Frizzle walked into the classroom wearing a dress we had never seen before. Our first reaction was—another trip is about to begin! But who could guess where we would end up? Even she was amazed! Let me tell you the story that happened when the Magic School Bus came to the end of the Earth!
