[MaastrichtianGuy]

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

[MaastrichtianGuy]

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)

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

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
