Main Characters
The diverse class is more than likely in the third grade, as Dorothy Ann celebrated her 9th birthday in "Sees Stars", making the class 8 and 9 years old. In the computer game The Magic School Bus Explores the World of Animals, Phoebe mentions that the class is in the third grade. The school is located in Walkerville, USA, seen in Ep. 24, Out of this World. Note that the books include additional students not seen in the TV adaptation (although Rachel, John, Carmen, and Michael made a few cameos). Only eight of Mrs. Frizzle's students appear in every episode and regularly attend field trips. Additionally, Arnold's cousin Janet accompanies them sometimes. The child actors voicing the students often provided the voices of the callers as well.

“When an Indian is burned, his body may be broiled, it may be no more than a beefsteak. What of that? They may broil his heart, but they do not therefore broil his courage,—his principles. Be of good courage! That is the main thing.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have often noticed that after I had bestowed on the characters of my novels some treasured item of my past, it would pine away in the artificial world where I had so abruptly placed it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
