Free book available from Scholastic and EPA
The EPA has partnered with Scholastic to write, illustrate, and publish a new book in the popular Magic School Bus children’s series titled: The Magic School Bus gets cleaned up (released October 2009). In this acclaimed educational series of books and videos (K-4th grade), a teacher named Ms. Frizzle takes her class on several science-oriented field trips, riding in their magical school bus.
In The Magic School Bus Gets Cleaned Up,”the children and Ms. Frizzle explore the pollution emitted from their own diesel school bus and learn about how to reduce the emissions as they find themselves traveling through a diesel engine. The children learn about idle reduction and ways the community can help reduce the health risks from diesel exhaust. At the end of the book, the Magic School Bus gets its own pollution control device, a diesel particulate-matter filter.
Released on October 18th, this special-edition book is available to help educators to increase awareness of the importance of reducing diesel emissions.
The books are free and can be ordered from the National Service Center for Environmental Publications, EPA’s publication warehouse. They may not be sold.
Quantities are limited due to the popularity of the book. Individuals, schools, and libraries may order up to 20 copies. Non-profit organizations working on diesel emissions issues and outreach may order up to 500. Other organizations, including for-profit companies, may order up to 100. Larger requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis while available. Please note it may take up to 3 weeks to receive your order but you can submit your Fed Ex account number for faster delivery.
