Summary: The Magic School Bus Strikes Again
Review: "The Magic School Bus" series is a gift for parents and techers who want to interest younger readers in science without pain. The bright colourful illustrations catch the imaginations of younger readers and complex concepts are brought across simply but accurately. Readers identify with Arnold and the other children. They enthusiastically take part in the discussion as if they were right inside the covers of the book. (My son is sure he can out-reason Dorothy-Ann, and this stimulates him to work out what happens next.) The Magic School Bus Gets Eaten is no exception. Concepts of food chains are brought across simply but clearly and readers are led to make deductions based on previous information. Excellent stuff! My son wants the next issue now!
