This book is about how class is taking a field trip to the aquarium. When they got to the aquarium, it was closed because it had been flooded. So Mrs. Frizzle had another Idea and took the class into the ocean. I would use this in my classroom when learning about sea life, in a 3rd grade setting.
Great introduction to bullying and how to stand up for yourself. Nancy loves using fancy words but find it necessary to use plain words to speak up for herself. She gains a new friend and learns it is okay not to win as long as you try and give it your best shot!
Doubly good as Nancy introduces new fancy words and learns a lesson in being a good listener.
Very cute! I love the way in which Nancy uses (an introduces) "fancy" words! Great way to help children expand their vocabulary!
Meh. Somewhat informative, but contrived plot and uninspired illustrations make this a mediocre and forgettable read.
