In the second of MS. FRIZZLE'S ADVENTURES, the Friz travels back in time to a medieval castle -- and teaches readers all about the Middle Ages.With her reluctant student, Arnold, the Friz slips through a mysterious trap door -- and ends up in the Middle Ages! There, they explore a medieval castle, meeting the people who live there and learning about everyday life within the castle walls. When the castle is threatened by invaders, Arnold and the Friz don chain mail to lead the defense. They repel the invaders just in the nick of time, then they joust and feast before returning to the 21st century. With their careful research and trademark wit, Cole and Degen introduce the many facets of medieval life.

This oversized paperback book has been a great addition to our collection about the Middle Ages, mainly because my kids (2nd & 3rd grade) love it and it is a pretty good summary of what they've learned.The book defines a castle, labels the parts of a castle, gives some idea of what castle life was like for those who lived in and around the castle (peasants, craftsmen, servants, nobility), shows how a castle was attacked and defended, and describes a Great Hall feast after the battle.While I consider the pages to be a bit busy - there is a narrative Ms. Frizzle travel-back-in-time story, there is comic-strip style commentary relevant to the narrative story (which the kids find terribly funny), and there are Q&As at the bottom of the page - the children find it very appealing. They pull this book out to read on their own.
As usual, Joanna Cole's books are informative and engaging. Fun for kids and full of information. I hope there are more of these time traveling books in the future.
My daughter (6) is obsessed with this book. Great facts and captivating illustrations keep her attention for at least 40 minutes which is unheard of!
great book. my daughter loves it. adventure and history all in one book. if you love the magic school bus series, you will love this.
Okay, when your three year old can describe the castle moat, portculis, and everything in between - who wouldn't want this book and everyone like it. My kids love watching the Magic School Bus and the books are even better. We wish the show was still in production but we will settle for all the books. They know how to explain everything.
