Now in the Beginning of the book its Visitors Day which i also like to call it Open House and there Planning An Event with a little area here in Ms Frizzles Classroom During that day and its Called Dinosaur Land.(not be Confused with the Park In White Post Virginia)and She Has Heard that her Class is Being Invited a Field Trip to a Dinosaur Dig in the middle of Montana



and it seems Ralphie is Reading a Comic Focusing on a Caveboy being Chased by a T-rex


Now that the her class is in the Dinosaur Dig Site you Get Ms.Frizzle Meeting A Paleontologist Named Jeff.(not be Confused with the Actor Who Played Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park plus its Sequel The Lost World Jurassic Park)and his other members Are Digging A Maiasaura Fossil Skeleton in that site



Now since Ms Frizzle has Heard About The Maiasaura that Jeff heard about plus Ms Frizzle she wanted and her class to go travel back in time to find the bones of it so they get on the bus and makes it turn it into a time machine to Travel Back in time go look for one

here we have the bus in its Time Machine form in the Timeline Chart which you can see all animals that live in Seperate types Of Periods And Eras

Now in the First Setting of this book is the Ms Frizzle And Her Class in the Bus in the Time Machine Form Has Time Traveled to The Triassic Period where Early Dinosaurs and all other early Prehistoric Creatures are which in fact are not in the right period where the Maiasaura is not in it





im now gonna give you name of the Dinosaurs that are taking place in this Setting
Anchisaurus(the Anchisaurus in the book Lived During The Jurassic not the Triassic so the dinosaur in the Book should be a Thecodontosaurus)
Coelophysis Aka Longosaurus or Rioarribasaurus
Dinodontosaurus the Brazilian Version Of Placerias
Plateosaurus(Plateosaur in the Book)
Rutiodon(Phytosaur in the book)
Saltopus
Stagonolepis(Aetosaur in the Book)

now it Seems the bus with Ms Frizzle's Class has Time Traveled to the Cretaceous Period but landed in the Ocean then they traveled to the mainland of the period. There Class is Spotted and Chased By a Pack Of Troodons. and it seems they sucessfully found the maiasauras and their nests Plus Found about its Bones. the Troodon Pack Attacked Maiasaura Herd.but theres something coming.theres a extinction event going on Like Sandstorms that killed the dinosaurs making them turn someday into fossils and Ms Frizzles Class goes Straight into the Bus Before A Gigantic Asteroid Destroy and kill the Dinosaurs

and Ms Frizzles Class has made it Back to Present and she Shows Jeff that she has found some Maiasaura Nests they waved good bye to Jeff and Drove Back to the School.and Guess What when they got back into the classroom there parents came and showed their kids which is the students of class that they have made a timeline chart focusing on the Creatures in Separate Times And Periods And some Models and Everything. Except for Wanda Cause She Seems to lost his Maiasaura Model or Toy There in the Past.You Get Arnold Sitting in the Reading chair Reading some kind of Book while her mother seeing him and saying Thats My Boy While Florries Mom is Reading a Book She Made Called The Day I Met a Maiasaura and last of all in the book theyre seems to be a dinosaur movie that some student made with a t-rex chasing a Parasaurolophus in a tv with a vcr player on top of it(which is similar to a Dinosaur Movie Made by a Some Subscriber in Youtube by using some of their dinosaur toys for it But this Book Came Way Before Youtube)





Heres the Ending of the Book with Two People Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen Who Research the Materials to Make the Book theres happens to be the creators pet dogs in it and there Happens to be The Files on the below left Page.thats where the two creators of this book have created the first five books in the main series for the franchise


and Heres the Alternate Ending of the Book Where Ms Frizzle And Jeff Being Curators in the Museum with Jeff Holding A Giant Toothpaste And Ms Frizzle With Giant Toothbrush Brushing the teeth of a Life Size Sculpture Of Tyrannosaurus Rex Standing Right next to the sign that leads straight to the entrance to the Dinosaur Exhibit

ever since their pretty good Success with the Magic School Bus in the Time Of Dinosaurs Book and it was now Becoming a Popular book out of any of the Magic School Bus Books the Team of the Magic School Bus Tv Show wanted to Research and Make an Episode off of the Book and make it for their Second Season of the Show.its Called The Busasaurus. Released in Fall Of 1995 During Saturday Mornings in PBS which came out after a year the Book Was Published.Released in Vhs in 1997(some sources say 1998)and again in 2000 as part of the Show's Vhs Title Greatest Adventures And Released in Dvd in 2012 as Part of the Field Trip Fun And Games Plus The Complete Series. this Episode Probably Doesnt Have Mostly Enough Elements from the Book But Some So im gonna show you what you see in this episode that is seen and happening in the book while you see things in this episode that isnt seen and happening in the book at all

Heres the Vhs Cover with the Episode's Title of it with Back Cover of it with Danny Tamberelli(Arnold) and Maia Filar(Phoebe) staying up in a tree from an Leave Eating Alamosaurus which was never seen in the Episode


Heres The Title of the Episode

Now Onto The Episode
1.the Episode Takes Place in the Cretaceous Only Rather Than All the Periods in the Book
2.the Paleontologists That Are Digging in the Dig Site is a Tyrannosaurus Rex Fossil Skeleton rather than a Maiasaura Fossil Skeleton

3.Rita Moreno(Dr. Carmina "Bonesy" Skeledon in the Episode)as Taken her Place rather than Jeff in the Book

4.The Fossilized Egg Which happens to Tyrannosaurus Rex Egg that was Unfossilized During a Scene Where Ms Frizzles Class has time Traveled to the Cretaceous Period and was Fossilized Back When they Got Back to the Present was Not Seen in the Book


5.Time Line in this Episode is Different From the Book

6.The Bus in the Form of a Parasaurolophus And Triceratops was never Transformed into those two in the book(except for the bus in the form of a time machine cause it is the only transformation the bus has transformed into in the book)



7.The Diet Chart The Binoculars and the Parasaurolophus Trumpet were Carried in this Episode rather than the Students Having a Video Camera Ms Frizzles Magnifying Glassand Some Dinosaur Models or Dinosaur Toys in the Book



8.the Rest of Ms Frizzles Students Climbing and staying up on a tree,Arnold And Phoebe Going After The Unfossilized Egg That Was Stolen by an Ornithomimus,An Edmontosaurus Scooping out Barf at Carlos Liz and Tim,the Triceratops Attack with the Troodons Chasing their Baby,the Triceratops Stampede,Danny Tamberelli(Arnold Perlstein)Scolding off an Angry and Ticked T-rex,Ms Frizzle Making Danny Tamberelli(Arnold Perlstein)that Gigantic, Kung Fu Fighting and Scaring off a T-rex Never Happen in the Book












The Alamosaurus,the Ornithomimus,Ms Frizzles Cheesey Dinosaur Themed Outfit,Geosternbergia,Diceratops(only as Ms Frizzles Slipper Shoes)Edmontosaurus,the Triceratops Herd,the Triceratops Babies,The Tricera Shields,The Sleeping Tyrannosaurus Rex,the Giant Danny Tamberelli(Arnold Perlstein)Footprint,the Chasmosaurus(Skeleton Only)and Tyrannosaurus Rex Skeleton Were Never Seen in the Book at all













the Apatosaurus,Compsognathus,Pteranodon(only on Ms Frizzles Outfit in this Episode)Parasaurolophus,Triceratops,Troodon,Tyrannosaurus Rex,Volcano and the Wooly Mammoth are the Only Ones That Are From the Book







Now Here You Have The Alternate Ending Taking Place in the Dig Site rather than the Museum in the Book.you see you get Liz trying to Dig and Unearth a little something While All Of Sudden she Gets a Call from some girl bringing the Phone to Rita Moreno(Dr. Carmina "Bonesy" Skeledon)calling her tell about the producer who worked on the tv show but all completely Tied Up and asks her about the dinosaur show she just saw and told her Whats the Difference between Carnivores and Herbivores and telling her has any person in the world has seen a real live dinosaur which you see Ms Frizzle with her class in the dinosaur museum which she never brought them there at all in the book and calling her again to tell how did dinosaurs behaved act and sounded like and she says no one knows exactly how dinosaurs behaved or what they sounded like. as you seen int their trip to the Cretaceous Period put straight on tv making Rita Moreno saying Time Travel is Impossible with liz blocking the screen of the tv and now taking out her diet chart out of that hole putting it away in the bag and leaving the dig site ending the episode

you can still see the model toy of a t-rex in the intro to that ending
