Long Time, No Sea Monster

Book excerpt: Ms. Frogbottom takes her class to Scotland where they meet the Loch Ness Monster in this second book in the chapter book series that is The Magic School Bus meets The Magic Tree House by bestselling author Nancy Krulik. Learning is an adventure in Ms. Frogbottom’s class, because she’s got a magic map—one that takes her students all over the world to do battle with mythical monsters no one believes are real. All Ms. Frogbottom has to do is take out the map, tap a country and—SHAZAAM!—off they go to a place somewhere far, far away. When Ms. Frogbottom’s crew lands in Scotland, they come nose to nose with the legendary Loch Ness Monster! Bestselling and beloved author Nancy Krulik ingeniously approaches geography in a new way, as the kids learn about the places they visit while fighting, fleeing, or in some cases rescuing monsters.
