My five-year-old loves The Magic School Bus . He likes when I paint the windows of my truck with planets, stars, and rocket ships to resemble Ms. Frizzle’s shape-shifting vehicle of discovery. He wants adventure, curiosity, and whimsy. Recently, I took us on a field trip to the planetarium for a show on the spring sky. At the end of the presentation, the astronomer asked if anyone had any questions. My child’s hand shot up so many times that she had to give some other people a chance. Parenting
