Review of On The Bus With Joanna Cole

Joanna Cole did an excellent job of writing her autobiography. I liked how she started with her relationship with her father, who is dyslexic, and how he made her appreciate the joy of reading. She also explains how her love and interest in science is her inspiration for her books. She didn't grow up thinking she would become a writer but because of her hard working attitude, which she got from her father, and passion for science she now has written many stories. The works I am most familiar with are the Magic School Bus stories but she has also written many others, all having to do with science. It is her passion of science that makes her books so interesting. This book gives you a great deal of information about Cole's life the experiences that have lead her to where she is now.
