Flamboyant as ever, the indefatigable Ms. Frizzle shepherds her young charges on a globe-spanning tour that starts in the melting Arctic, ends back in a greener classroom and in between lays out the process and hazards of the greenhouse effect before going into eco-friendly, energy-saving technological and lifestyle changes. As usual, Degen festoons his busy pictures with the Friz's students taking it all in-here donning "microscope goggles" to check out CO2 molecules, riding sunbeams down to Earth, flying over leaky homes and factories, and making comments ("By the time we grow up..." / "... it may be called Glacier-LESS National Park," exclaim two students, while gesturing to an icy 1932 image juxtaposed against a barren one from today). Flutters of one- or two-sentence handwritten sidebars in the form of the students' written reports provide further information. It's a tested formula that's still as effective as ever for cluing in younger readers with a mix of instruction and droll side remarks. The bus isn't even close to running out of gas yet-particularly as it's now a hybrid. (Informational picture book. 6-9)
