Great, huh? It's from a Magic School Bus book, one I read this morning to my second-graders. They really enjoyed this story. I tried something new this week and just read one longer book rather than two shorter ones. It also allowed more time for comments and discussion, which was nice. This book is about warm- and cold-blooded animals, and in some sense I just love the idea of an artsy type helping kids learn science. Bryan would be so proud.
