1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing compared to earlier Magic School Bus books,
By Happy Dad (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Magic School Bus Kicks Up A Storm: A Book About Weather (Paperback)
My 4 year old son fell in love with the earlier books in this series - Hurricane, Ocean Floor, Electricity, Human body, Water Works, Bees. They are rich in detail, and are very engaging for young exploring minds. This one (MSB Kicks Up a Storm) pales by comparison. Not nearly as much detail. Lacks the quality of illustrations and side-commentary that make the earlier ones so special. This is a run-of-the-mill kids book with nothing much to distinguish it. I have read elsewhere that this series took a downturn when it became a TV show. It certainly reads like a comic-book version of a TV show. Take my son's advice - stick with the earlier books in the Magic School Bus series.

Shicka-Shicka Kaboom! The Book.,
This review is from: The Magic School Bus Kicks Up A Storm: A Book About Weather (Paperback)
It's high summer at school and hot, hot, hot. Carlos is working on a rain catcher, but there's no rain. Ralphie stares out the window and concludes that what they all need to cool down is a big thunderstorm. The only problem is that the kids don't know how weather is made. Is it water? Is it moving air or the heat from the sun that creates weather?
Well, of course, there's nothing to be done about it but to get out there, take chances, get messy and make mistakes! The children learn all about weather but not before they are turned into water droplets, ride on falling ice crystals and get whooshed about in a thermal updraft. Shicka-Shicka Kaboom! Ralphie gets carried away as your children will be. Four Stars. These books are very educational, but they are not the easiest read-alouds. (I read them to my 3 and 5 year-olds anyway.) **See the `Search Inside' Excerpt page for an example of reading level. Certainly young children will not be able to read them.
