Ms. Frizzle's Fashion. Ms. Frizzle always wears clothing with patterns matching wherever the bus is going that day. Her dress might have planets on it before a space trip or dinosaurs when heading to the Cretaceous Period.

Educational Entertainment. The Magic School Bus started as a book series in 1986 and became so popular it turned into TV shows, movies, and video games. Kids have been learning real science through wild adventures for decades.
