Miss Smith's Incredible Storybook is a kind of "Magic School Bus" story. Instead of the kids going places, however, Miss Smith's storybook brings storybook characters to life right in the classroom!
Each time Miss Smith read a story the characters would come to life and when she finished the story the characters would return to the book. Of course, the class becomes immersed right in the story (I would, too!)
One day, Miss Smith gets stuck in traffic and is late to school so the kids start passing around the book to one another and reading different stories from it. However, since no one read an entire story to its completion, the classroom became very crowded with storybook characters! Miss Smith can't even get in the door when she arrives. The whole scene is chaotic and you have to read on to see if Miss Smith can save the day and how!
This is a very adorable and magical book. I highly recommend it for its wonderful characters, crisp illustrations, and for its ability to hold even the squirmiest child's attention.
This isn't a great photo, but this is one of the scenes in which a story is being read about a knight on a white horse and a dragon:
