Book Synopsis

The Skeleton Scare takes readers through the Hugh Mann Costume Company, where they'll learn about a different bone in each room. As Ms. Frizzle and her class work their way through the factory, they keep seeing a strange skeleton. Yikes! Is it following them? Maybe, but it doesn't stop the kids from learning all about skeletons: why we need them, what different bones are for, what makes bones grow, how bones get fixed after they've been broken, and lots of other facts about our skeletons.

From the Back Cover

My name is Dorothy Ann. I am one of the kids in Ms. Frizzle's class. Maybe you've heard of Ms. Frizzle. She takes us on lots of field trips in the Magic School Bus. We never know what's going to happen when we get on that bus, but we do know that we'll learn about Ms. Frizzle's favorite subject-science!

When Ms. Frizzle ordered skeleton costumes for us, some of the bones were missing. We headed for the Hugh Mann Costume Company to look for them. There, we learned why we need our skeletons, what different bones are for, and what makes them grow. But why was that strange skeleton following us? In this book, I tell you everything that happened on that trip, the time we went on The Search for the Missing Bones.
