This book would be good for students who are in younger elementary grade levels because it has a lot of pictures to show the travels that happen throughout the book, and it uses a lot of imagination which is prime in lower grade levels. It goes through how Ms. Frizzle takes her students on a trip to the ocean floor and shows them the creatures and things that live down there. This would be good in a classroom because it has the educational aspect of learning about the ocean and creatures, but also uses creativity and allows students to use their imagination while they are reading the story.

A great book to teach kids about the ocean, different aspects of the sea, and some of it's features in a fun way. ( )

This book is a great resource to teach students about the ocean because the story is engaging and the illustrations are very informative. The book also teaches students to pay attention to literary elements in books that they read, and I would say it is a great way to introduce non-fiction texts. This book would be good for high primary readers and intermediate readers. ( )
