Ms. Frizzle takes the class on yet another extraordinary field trip! A photographer is coming to take a picture of the class and their garden for the cover of a magazine! However, Phoebe needs a plant for the class garden. Ms. Frizzle takes the class to her old school on a ladybug schoolbus ride! There they tour every major part of her flower and watch a seed being made. But will the class make it on time? Will Ms. Frizzle find love? This video was enjoyed by my students as a suplement to our plant and seed unit! This is one that kids will enjoy watching several times.

The previous reviewer summed up the plot of "Magic School Bus - Goes to Seed" very well so I will only add that all of the MSB shows are great (especially when compared to what else is out there).

I started watching these with my children when they were two and four. I am sure they were (and are still) missing the fine points, but I am also sure that they are gaining a foundation in a variety of scientific topics. Things that we can *build upon* later. (For example, my husband was amazed at how much they picked up about the solar system.)

And after watching this show, we go outside and 'dissect' some flowers. Or, for my now 5 year-old, we do something like grow beans in a glass cup so that we can reinforce what they have seen previously on the show. (We'll do this again when my son is older.)

Four Stars. Top notch Edu-tainment.
