I read this book out loud to a small group of 1st graders in a book club setting. Other books we read include Magic Treehouse, Junie B Jones, Princess in Black, and Dragon Masters.I was hoping that this could be another series I could get students started with, but this was definitely above their level of comprehension. This book is more teaching than story, which is ok, but difficult for students that young to focus on. They liked discussing bat facts and when I showed them pictures of the bats from the story. Unfortunately that was about all they liked about this book. I think this may go over better with students in 2nd grade and above, unless the student is particularly interested in a specific topic.I did like the illustrations and the way the main text of the story is interspersed with notes from Ms. Frizzle and the students in her class. If I had a student who was interested in a subject covered by one of these books but was reluctant to read fiction, I would recommend this series.
