My 5-year-old daughter loves the Magic School Bus series of DVDs. The shows are highly educational and I make a point of watching the DVDs with her so that we can discuss interesting topics. This DVD covers bugs, and contains three episodes:

"In a Beehive" - Ms Frizzle and her class discover all about bees and how they make honey.

"Gets Ants in Its Pants"- the class discovers the life cycle of an ant and how industrious ants are

"Butterfly and the Bog Beast" - how caterpillars change into butterflies

Ms Frizzle's learning principle "Take chances, make mistakes and get messy" is hilariously portrayed throughout the episodes. The language is pitched at the right level for young children, and my 5-year-old was able to follow the episodes without needing much clarification.

These shows make science appear fun and interesting, as it is, and encourages children to explore and learn new things. I highly recommend the Magic School Bus series to all children for their high educational value and their ability to make learning fun.

I used this in daycare when we were learning about bugs! I grew up with Magic School Bus and wasn't sure that the kids would like it but they did! Very happy with this purchase!

I originally ordered this because my girlfriend is working on being an elementary teacher, it contains 3 of the bug based magic schoolbus episodes (didn't realize this, I don't know much about the magic school bus). Great thing to buy if you're trying to find some DVDs for an elementary school room.

Your kids will love all of the Magic School Bus videos. They are all educational and perfect for approximately 4 year old and up. You'll be amazed at the things your kids will learn from these fun videos!

My kids, a girl age 6 and twins age 3, girl and boy, all love this show. It's educational, entertaining, and exciting for them to watch. They have several Magic School Bus shows but I am pretty sure this one is their favorite.

I am a science teacher and the Magic School Bus is a great addition to my class DVD library. For students 1st-5th grade it a fun way to introduce a topic to the class.

all of these videos are GREAT! my 5 year old son loves watching these...and he's learning something too! highly entertaining and educational. We also have all the books.

Product came in mint condition with shrink wrap and was mailed in a timely fashion. Recommended seller!

My kids, ages 5 and 6, enjoy this DVD which does a good job of mixing entertainment and learning. My beef is that Miss Frizzle pronounces pupae and larvae as pyoo-pay and lar-vay, while dictionaries I've checked all say it should be a long "e" - pyoo-pee and lar-vee. It's hard for readers of any age to pronounce scientific terms, and I think it's very important for kids to hear words correctly. Magic School Bus let me down.
