About the book
Ms. Frizzle's class is in a Show and Tell contest. Arnold brings in an old artifact to show. But since nobody knows what it is, there's nothing to tell! So the class makes guesses as to what the object is, and they go on a wild adventure to find out if their guesses are correct. Full color.
