Customer Reviews

Fun and educational

My first grader loved this book (though he is reading above grade level - good for second grade and up, or advanced younger readers.) It had a "spooky" factor, which he loved. And he didn't even realize it, but he was learning all about the bones in the human body.

Great Chapter book

My son loves the magic school bus, both books and DVD's. He is now reading chapter books and loves to learn. I'm amazed at what my 1st grader has learned from the magic school bus series.

Great for readers

My 8 yr old loves to read. These books make it fun to learn and pretend. They continue the goals of the video series to help kids learn about their world. Even older kids who might not like to read will find the Magic School Bus books enjoyable.
