I discovered that there had never been a children’s book written about cockroaches before. An article in the Wall Street Journal inspired me to do some research. In Cole’s Scholastic profile she wrote: “My first book was Cockroaches. With her death she leaves behind a legacy of over 250 children’s book, a licensed videogame, a progressive animated series, the new Netflix reboot, and an upcoming live-action film. Since the book franchise’s inception in 1986 (lasting until 2010) along with the classic animated TV series (1994-1997), the book series has sold over 90 million copies, with the characters in the series venturing anywhere from the center of the Earth, to even inside the human body - all thanks to the “Magic School Bus.” Sadly, it has just been reported that the creator of the series, Joanna Cole, has passed away at the age of 75.
