Summary: very disappointing
Review: My 4-year-old son and I really love the "original" Magic School Bus books by Cole & Degan. They are all great books which introduce science concepts in a way kids can grasp. The Scholastic knock-offs from the TV show seem to be very variable in quality - some are good and some fail. As a series they all lack the depth of information which is the hallmark of the Cole & Degan books. This is one of the worst from the Scholastic series. I realize that they are just making books directly from the TV series scripts, but the writing in this one is poor. It doesn't flow well and had a "fingernails on a blackboard" quality for me.

Summary: The best of both worlds
Review: My three-year old son is a Magic School Bus and astronomy fanatic. It's a great book to introduce kids to the life cycles of stars and how stars are formed!
