5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Science Book!, May 16, 1999

This review is from: The Magic School Bus Taking Flight: A Book About Flight (Paperback)

I read this book as part of a final project about children's science books. I found this book fun, adventurous and educating! As a teacher, I intend to stock my classroom library with this and the other books in the "Magic School Bus" series. The videos that correspond to certain books are also a good resource. Kids: you'll love it! Adults: it's an excellent resource; use it!

This review is from: Magic School Bus Taking Flight: A Book about Flight (Magic School Bus (Sagebrush)) (School & Library Binding)

My son enjoys this book because it explains how an airplane works. Ms. Frizzle's class takes a field trip to the model airplane show. When on student gets curious about flying, Ms. Frizzle decides to take the students to get on the airplane. They run into problems when Tim trips over the binoculars & breaks the controls. The class learns how the airplane stays in the air & when you move the propellers on the airplane the plane turns directions. I every child should read The Magic School Bus series
