"This book has the appealing layout and tone of the successful 'Magic School Bus' series whtle still being firmly grounded in reality. Three children, a dog, and a cat accom-pany their archaeologist friend Sophie on a dig. The woman explains the scientific process, exuding enthusiasm for her cho-sen career. Upbeat, conversa-tional text, fact-filled sidebars, speech bubbles, and instructive illustrations pro-vide a delightful cornucopia of informa-tion that students will return to again and again." -- School Library Journal (starred review)
