Ms. Frizzle and her students go on a field trip to the desert. The students in the book learned how the mountains cause the deserts and how animals and plants survive in the harsh weather conditions that are in the desert. After becoming different animals, the students were able to learn that the animals and plants who live in the desert adapt to their surroundings. Plants save water in their trunks and the animals have features in their bodies to protect them against praetors and the harsh heat of the day and cold nights. This book would be great to use when teaching about deserts and adaptations in science. There is also a great experiment listed in the back of the book that shows how plants use water.
