    4-0 out of 5 stars Fairly detailed book for early elementary children.
    I have this book in my preschool classroom, but it is not one that I read at storytime. We use it as a resource when one child begins to question how or why the leaves change color. It is a helpful resource for me as an adult to understand the process, yet in simple language and with pictures to make it interesting for children. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars a great book out of a great series - a review by Eli (age 7)
    This book is really out of this world.I have been hooked on the magic school bus series.I can't wait to read more books in the series.The inside the human body book is full with very interesting facts and I learned so much from reading it.Arnold doesn't know where the bus is and is trying to find it.He doesn't even know that it is actually inside him.Then Arnold sneezes and finds the bus right next to him.He doesn't understand how he didn't see it before.

    5-0 out of 5 stars packed with information
    Ms. Frizzle is taking her class on a memorable field trip through the human body in this entertaining book featuring the beloved eccentric teacher and her curious class.My only complaint is that the pages are so busy with information that it's impossible to sit and really read the whole book, but perhaps it's best to let a child's curiosity guide you through a number of readings rather than trying to get everything in at one sitting.Concepts are expressed clearly and with humor.Justly popular with young students.

    I like this book because it makes me wonder about the solar system and everything happening in it. I love imagining what things are like in other places and this book makes me think but it also taught me stuff about the solar system too. This book makes me want to visit the solar system myself.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Science Made Fun & Easy
    I have a 6-yr old boy and a 7-yr old girl. It's very rare to find anything that they agree on but with What Is the World Made Of? I was able to find a book that both of them would enjoy and learn from at the same time. The easy-to-follow language made it easy for them both to follow along. The fun pictures and odd bits of humor kept them interested and wanting to know more. A fantastic find & one I hope to be able to use for quite some time.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great for Teachers!!!
    This book is an excellent way to introduce solids, liquids, and gases.I used it with a 3rd grade class and it was perfect!

    5-0 out of 5 stars wonderful science/literature connection

    I purchased this book for my five year old son, who loves anything that has to do do with outerspace and the planets.This is a terrific book for a young child, the information is direct and to the point and easy to understand.I think children in the older recommended age range would be somewhat dissappointed, it is not really meant for in depth understanding.5-0 out of 5 stars Out Of This Place

    My 3 year old daughter loves it.It explains the process at a level she can understand.Great when used with the Butterfly Garden.

    5-0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Butterfly Book for Preschool-Third Grade
    I am the director of a lower school (pre-k-2nd) and we have used this book for years. It is the perfect way to introduce children to the wonderful world of metamorphosis. And if you can also actually get the Painted Lady Butterflies and "grow" them in your class, it is an invaluable experience. We have our children keep journals and then buy them each a copy of this great book (it's cheap in paperback) and they get to keep the experience forever. One correction to another review: painted ladies and all butterflies do spin chrysalids, not cocoons. They look similar, but the chrysalis usually has little specks of gold in it, which is where the name comes from. Yes I am a huge fan of this book--and a huge fan of butterflies. This author also has a lovely book about honeybees, called Honeybees.

    5-0 out of 5 stars THE Book to accompany Butterfly Houses, Pavillions
    We got this book in addition to a home "Butterfly Pavillion" by InsectLore. It prepared my son and us for what to expect as the Painted Lady Butterflies were developing through each stage. So even duringthe lulls in the action, we could spark some anticipation. Which heightened the whole process for my 5 year old. Read more

    These learning centers are easy to put together and maintain.I purchased several plastic shoe boxes from one of the dollar stores in the area to use.As a 4th grade teacher, some of the games were excellent for building up basic skills.I'll be teaching 2nd grade next year, and have already gotten some of the other games ready for use.

    5-0 out of 5 stars A lovely book on counting and factorials
    This picture book is easy to read, and presents two math concepts:the first is counting to ten.The second is factorials:If there are three kingdoms in two countries on one island, then how many kingdoms are there altogether?
    4-0 out of 5 stars Terrific Teaching Tool
    I read this book to a first grader and a fifth grader. The first grader immediately observed that with the turn of each page, there was one more picture, i.e., mountains, kingdoms and villages, etc., ending up with 10 jars. The next concept of factorials was not as obvious, but he was curious about the multiplying dots. To the fifth grader, the concept of factorials was much more apparent and he found the pattern easily. This book helps with multiplying skills as well as the mathematical concept of factorials. Also, there is further explanation as to the concept of factorials at the end of the book. ... Read more

    How can a 10-year-old NOT read the pages on boogers or poop? Meanwhile, the writing is clear and the essays even teach you a bit of science. Fun book, highly recommended.

    5-0 out of 5 stars boys love gross stuff
    My 4th grader is nuts about this book, as it has an impressive array of information on his favorite subjects: Barf, boogers, farts, body odor, burping, ear wax, bad breath and the other bodily functions that boys can't seem to get enough of. This gives them a chance to learn the science behind these, while they laugh hysterically at the illustrrations and comments. He really did learn alot and sounds like a junior medical student accurately explaing why he just made that tooting sound.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Very enGROSSing
    I bought this book along with the companion "Grossology and You".I didn't have to remind my 10-year-old son to do his nightly reading for weeks!The subjects are all things that boys find oddly entertaining, ie., snot, fatulence, diarrhea, etc.Each article has the facts of how and why these natural processes occur along with more "colorful" excerpts (ie., the diarrhea song) that kids love.This is a great way to entice young boys to get interested in biology and reading.After my son finished reading the book, he pointed out the others in the series and asked if I would get them as well. ...

    3-0 out of 5 stars Alexandra D Pima Student Tucson
    I read this book to a group of kindergarten students. Right now they are learning about money just coins they know penny,dime and nickel. Some of the students were able to point out the coins and do some of the adding with the pig family. But majority of them just enjoyed the pictures and the storyline. They were unable to follow the hidden math problem. But overall it is a fun story to read with the students.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Pigs will be Pigs
    A very creative way to teach money concepts.I liked the way the book reviews the way to make change.I read this to a group of 3rd graders.I don't know that they found the book entertaining, but it did help them review money.I think 2nd graders would probably enjoy the story more, but may not understand all of the math concepts as well as the third graders.
    5-0 out of 5 stars Pigs will be Pigs Review
    I read this book to children in first grade and they LOVED IT!!The children thought that this book was so hilarious.The book did such a great job incorporating money and counting into it.The illustrations were awesome as well, the pictures kept the children's attention while I was reading the book.I kept a tally of how much the pigs found and where they found the money.The children loved helping me keep track and they all participated in naming all the different locations of where the pig family kept the money.I do recommend this book for a circle or group reading, the children will love it!!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Straightforward, engaging introduction to the 5 senses
    My 5 year old son absolutely adores this book.He asks me to read it repeatedly, and has fun pointing out when he's using his senses just like the (adorably illustrated) child in Aliki's book does.It's a lively, fun introduction to an important scientific concept.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Not to be confused with Aliki's "My Five Senses"
    Margaret Miller's book is a simple introduction to the five senses which young children can easily understand and relate to. I use it in teaching the concept of the five sensesto my English as a Second Language kindergarten students. Miller presents each sense with the related body parts, which makes it easier for children to understand the sometimes complicated idea of what a "sense" is.For example, "With my eyes, I see..." and then she gives examples.The book is illustrated with Miller's photos of children of different ethnicities, and the items they are seeing, smelling, etc are relevant to most children's experience.My students used this book as a starting point to make their own books about the five senses.As a teacher, I recommend this book to anyone looking for a way to introduce some science content to little ones.

    5-0 out of 5 stars My Five Senses
    Appealing pictures accompany a straight forward text. "Sometimes I use all my senses at once...When I laugh and play with my puppy, I use four senses. I see, hear, smell and touch...each sense is very important to me because it makes me aware.To be aware is to see all there is to see...hear all there is to hear...[etc]." I like the progression from simple statements to more complex ideas, especially the use of the word 'aware'.How many early readers are aware of the word 'aware' and connect it to their senses?After reading this book, they all will! ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent nonfiction
    This is a very readable children's book about bats.It helps to dispel some of those nasty myths about our only flying mammal that seem to persist.I use this book as part of my unit on bats that I teach in my second grade classroom.A twin text that I also use is Stellaluna.Pairing fiction and nonfiction works very well with young children.Zipping... is very informative and a very good resource for exposing children to needed symbiosis of man and nature.I will be building a bat house with ny students as a follow up.Think about this book the next time you find yourself swatting at a pesky mosquito.

    5-0 out of 5 stars A Fabulous Book
    Have you ever wanted to learn about bats?Well, I did.So after readingAnne Earle's fabulous book, Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats, I learned that bats are innocuous, useful and interesting mammals.Let me tell you what I have assimilated.5-0 out of 5 stars Interesting, fun and educational
    I love this book and so do my 5 year old son and 7 year old daughter.It is filled with great pictures of bats and all kinds of bat facts.It lets you know that bats are nothing to fear and even shows you how to make a bat house in the back of the book.Did you know that bats are the only flying animals that nurse their young?Bat "pups" hang together in large groups called nurseries and each mother returns at least twice during the night to feed her little pup.Did you know that there is a bat in Australia that has a six foot wing span?I didn't until I read this book...don't worry they eat fruit!I liked bats before...now I like them even more. ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars The Grand Finale
    In 1986, author Joanna Cole and illustrator Bruce Degen published their first book together.It was a story about a funky-cool teacher with frizzy-red hair, who led her class on the most extraordinary, in-depth, and out-of-this-world field trips like no instructor before her.The adventures of Ms. Frizzle and her students quickly became a hit with real-life children, parents and teachers alike.No one could have predicted the success that awaited Cole and Degen once "The Magic School Bus: At the Waterworks" hit the shelves.
    3-0 out of 5 stars Parental guidance required
    My science-loving eight-year-old son really enjoys reading books from the Magic School Bus series, and the topic and plot line of this one engaged him as well.But early into the book, he was asking me about nearly every other word.When I looked more carefully, I realized the reading level was higher than other books he had read in the series and many of the facts were things I had learned in junior high.I decided to take over, reading the book to him and explaining many of the topics in more detail.Don't get me wrong -- he really enjoyed the book and learned some "cool" new things about the senses.It just wouldn't have made much sense without my involvement.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Science
    This book is based on the television show the magic school bus, with Mrs. Frizzle.The book contains great factual illustrations for the reader.The students of Mrs. Frizzle's class are learning about the senses so they get into their magic school bus and shrink down, and go into a students nose and from there they continue to the other sensory organs.I like the format of this book because it is very active instead of reading from a textbook the children can get the same information but have fun while they are learning. I also like hands on activities and this is as close as hands on with a book as you can get.It also gives small science experiments and reports that the class has written for the child to read.The author has such great imagination and brings the fun back into learning science. ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read for Young Curious Minds...
    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.

    3-0 out of 5 stars The earlier books are much better
    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 Great fun!
    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. ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars Dinosaurs and the Magic School Bus
    I bought this book for my son's 5th birthday. He loves the Magic School Bus series and he loves Dinosaurs. This was the perfect gift for him. We have read it a few times already. It does not read as smooth as the other books in the series, but it keeps his interest and makes him want to read.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Not the biggest meat eater. From vincent
    Acually the biggest carnivore was giganotosaurus(gig-a-no-toe-sau-rus)with runners up being carcharodontosaurus(car-car-o-don-to-sau-rus),spinosaurus (the star from Jurrasic Park III)Then Tyrannosaurus rex (t-rex).My personal favorites: Velociraptor(veh-loss-i-rap-tor, ceratosaurus (cer-at-o-sau-rus),oviraptor (o-vi-rap-tor),and ornitholestes (or-nith-o-les-tees).

    5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful educational book for a variety of ages!
    I wasn't familiar with the Magic School Bus series until I visited my family this past weekend--my 3-year old niece absolutely loved this book!Unconventional teacher Mrs. Frizzle takes her students on an archeological dig, but she then decides to give them a real look at dinosaurs by loading them onto her magic school bus and traveling back in time.The main body of the story is only about 5 lines per page, making the book appropriate for reading to younger children, but there is also a wealth of additional information included in surrounding insets, making the book ideal for an older beginning reader as well (and fun for adults, too!).The pictures are extremely detailed and colorful, and the illustrated children portray a variety of ethnic appearances.Given my niece's reaction, I'd highly recommend this book for aged 2-3 and up. ...
