3.0 out of 5 stars The earlier books are much better, September 11, 2004

By	D. Woodring "Chemist" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We were given a copy of "Magic Schoolbus and the Ocean Floor" as a gift. I then bought "Dinosaurs" and "Senses." There is a difference between the books written only by Joanna Cole and the later books that are basically a comic-book version of the TV show. It takes us a solid 45 minutes to read "Senses", and I even learned some facts. "Plants Seeds" is about a 15 minute read-aloud. I say stick with the earlier books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read for Young Curious Minds..., May 29, 2006

By	S. Jones "ScubaJuba" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a 3rd Grade School Teacher, I found this book instrumental to my lessons on plant life. Ms. Drizzle and her class answer many of the questions my students come up with before we've read the book so I know that we're reading the right materials for our lessons. Great series for the imagination and for provoking interest in the sciences early in the child's development.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun!, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

I enjoyed this book very much because it is such a fun way to learn about science. This is the first of many Magic School Bus books I purchased, and I've been hooked ever since.
