A note from Joanna Cole:
While I was writing The Magic School Bus and theClimateChangeChallenge, all I could think about was the kids whowill readit. Iwanted to give them hope. More than that, I wanted totellthem howtheir own actions as children can help solve the crisisofglobalwarming. You will see a real blueprint for this inthebook.
Our young readers will be voters before we know it,andeducatingthem today will influence their actions as theygrowolder. Wouldn'tit be wonderful if The Magic School Bus couldhelpchange theclimate for the better?
