    Field Trip Notes:

    Were dinosaurs the biggest, meanest animals that ever lived? To find out, the kids travel back to the late Cretaceous Period - 67 million years ago. There, they see dinosaurs eat, hunt, rest, and fight. Some even take care of baby dinosaurs! The kids discover that not all dinosaurs were huge - some were as small as rabbits. And most dinosaurs weren’t killers - they preferred plants to dino-burgers. But one meat-eater - Tyrannosaurus rex - has a taste for a Magic School Bus sandwich! What happens when Ms. Frizzle enlarges Arnold to T-rex size? Does the Cretaceous creature drop his dinner plans?
