Usually the magic school bus books offer excellent explanations of natural phenomena, but this one goes a little further and explains how scientists think and work using famous scientists as examples. Thanks to this book, my daughter understands what a hypothesis is and that it must be tested. Her favorite is the explanation of how Pasteur devised an experiment that proved bacteria in blood cause disease, not just the blood itself. Other scientists presented include Galileo, Newton, the Curies, and Einstein. All this in the fun, Frizzled manner of the magic school bus series.

My son absolutely loves this book. He enjoys the Magic School Bus book series, but he especially likes this book which teaches him about famous scientists and their relative discoveries. This is educational fun at its best if your child enjoys learning from books.

As always, my seven year old son loved this book. You can't ever go wrong with the Magic School Bus books. Learning and fun tied together.

Our grandchildren enjoy reading any and all of the original Magic School Bus books, over and over again. They are a fascinating way of 'sneaking' in some scientific thinking in a really imaginative way. The whole series makes a great gift for any under 10 children.

Wow, my kids love this Magic School Bus book! After borrowing it from the library, they liked it so much that I purchased one for us to keep at home. Five stars!
