Air Today, Gone Tomorrow
Written in 1995, Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen's latest story begins where it ends - in Ms. Frizzle's classroom.And that's it.Nothing else happened.The Friz and her students simply went on a nice, leisurely field trip.They didn't end up miles beneath the earth's surface digging for rocks; nor did they travel to outer space to hitch a ride with a runaway comet; heck, they didn't even bother to travel backwards in time millions of years to observe ancient animal life.
The magic school bus inside a hurricane
I liked this book because it is a good way of showing what a hurricane looks like, how they work, what i can/can not do. It talls you how they are formed and where you can go to be safe from a hurricane.

Aw, heck.What's not to like?
For those familiar with the "Magic Schoolbus" series, Mrs. Frizzle's adventures with her class all have a similar plotline.Mrs. Frizzle explains some scientific topic, whether it's the solar system, the dinosaurs, etc. and then lures her children onto her special schoolbus for an adventure.During the adventure the only child that is regularly singled out as the perpetual schlamatzel is Arnold, a boy who doesn't care much for adventures, thank you.In the end, the class is safe and has learned quite a lot, despite themselves.Even Arnold.Then there is a "letters" section in the back where readers wishing to complain about scientific inaccuracies (in this case, how dangerous it would be to be caught in a hurricane) are one-upped by already existing letters.The particular plotline in this hurricane obsessed book was not too dissimilar from the others, and was a lot of fun.I used to read these books to kids that I babysat back in my high school years, and certain types of children love them.The pages are always busy with text, speech bubbles, experiments that kids can do at home, and various factoids sprinkled hither and yon.I do wonder how long these series will last before it is regarded as hopelessly dated by the young.Please note that the review previous to my own was last written in 1997.Currently the show is doing well as a tv series, voiced by Lily Tomlin.Just the same, it would be very difficult to read this book to a group of kids.The books are relatively small and crammed with so much extra text that children will want to handle them one on one, rather than with a large group.Each book would pair well with a companion non-fiction book on the same topic. ...

A good read for me and my just-turned-3-year-old
This book has a cute, fun story with good illustrations like the other Scarry titles I've seen.I don't know how much my daughter is learning from it, except that Mr. Frumble is one unlucky guy.I haven't gotten tired of reading it, as happens sometimes, and that's as important as anything in the long run.It takes me 5-10 minutes to read, and I don't get into some of the outside-the-story details which I think would only distract my daughter from the story at this age.

EXCELLENT!!
Great book for child's first flight!Excellent conversation piece for child to describe what she saw and did. The book didn't miss a thing about the airport!Child still loves to read it!!!!

Is this a genuine Richard Scarry book?
I think this is one of the "Richard Scarry" books, not a genuine Richard Scarry. The pictures don't look quite right and the writing is all wrong. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Maisy the mouse and her friends Cyril, Charley, and Tallulah have a busyday of gardening, painting pictures, cleaning the playroom, and romping at theplayground. Young readers can lift the flaps--all 36 of 'em--to learn aboutnumbers, colors, shapes, and opposites as the pals go about their day. Whatobjects in the playroom match the shapes on the flaps? What color completes thepictures of carrots, whales, and grasshoppers? The oh-so-cute Maisy is a hugefavorite with children, who watch her on TV and read about her in Read more

A must for any Maisy fan.
My daughter can't get enough of this book.She could sit in front of it all day long, opening all the flaps and staring at all the details in the pictures.She is on a real Maisy kick, so I knew she would love it, but I had no idea how much.Three months after I first got it for her (she is 21 months now), I still know that it will hold her attention when I pull it out.That's a valuable tool for the mother of an active toddler!

Maisy + Flaps = Winner!!!
My 2 year old loves Maisy!I got this book for him a year ago, and it is still a favorite.He has been able to tear some of the flaps off, like most of his flap books.Nonetheless we love the large size, bold colors, lots of flaps, simple images - a great buy!

GREAT FOR KIDS WHO LOVE THE FLAP BOOKS!
My 2.5 year old is a big Maisy fan, and LOVES all books with flaps!Thus, this purchase was a no brainer, and he loves it!His 5 year old brother likes it too!!Best thing is that the flaps are durable and not easy to rip-very important for us:-)Good purchase! ... Read more

busy, busy town
a great children's book that my children loved and now my grandchildren love it. Richard Scarry knows how to teach children about their world with a combination of words and illustrations.

Great Classic!
This is a fabulous classic childrens book.Still the same captivating drawings as when I was a kid.
Sure, it's sexist...
While I agree with the Danish reader that sexism is prevalent in this book, the reader should be aware that Richard Scarry died 10 years ago (1994). Later "Scarry" books, as written by Richard Scarry's son, Hank, do reflect current times and attitudes.However, I think Hank Scarry would be hard-pressed to tamper with his father's book, which many people consider a classic.I suggest using this book (as well as Cinderella, Snow White, etc.) as an opportunity to discuss sexism with your children.It's more productive than complaining about the dead on Amazon. ...

richard scary books
we read these books together... the word aquisition skill opportunities are wonderful..share and enjoy.

The Original Richard Scarry you loved as a kid
This edition preserves the original Richard Scarry artwork and text from the 1970's that I grew up with (and loved) as a kid.Some of the new (1990 and on) editions of Scarry stories have art that is slightly "off" from Scarry's style, and text that does not convey Scarry's wit and fun storytelling style.Rest assured that this edition has both of those!

Good short stories, but has nothing to do with bedtime.
This book is a nice collection of short stories, but none of the stories have a thing to do with falling asleep. Buy this book because you want more of Richard Scarry's wonderful stories, not because you want to soothe your child to sleep. I myself feel let down because I thought I was buying stories to put my child to sleep to. ... Read more

Sweet and fun book
My two year old loves this book. We have to read it to him three times in a row each night. The pop-ups are sturdy enough for him to manipulate. This book is fun and I highly recomend it.

Great Book
My twin boys love this book....especially the working flashlight at the end of the book!!

Delightful book
This is a charming little story that my 3 year old son insists on hearing over and over. A must have for any Kipper loving family. ... Read more

Not You Standard Thanksgiving Faire- a review of "Arthur's Thanksgiving"
In this book, Arthur is chosen by Mr. Ratburn to be the director of the school's "Thanksgiving Day' play.As expected he is wined and dined for the primo parts by Francine, Buster and friends. The problems start however when it comes to filling the role of the chief bird.No one wants to wear that Turkey suit!
Arthur's Thanksgiving
The book was a brilliant book. I like how Arthur was the director and Francine thought that she was going to direct. Arthur had trouble finding a turkey for the school play and how he had to try to bribe people. Everyone threatened to quit the play if he couldn't find a turkey. He even bought a real turkey. Then in the end, he decided to be the turkey himself.

Ms. Carrolls' Class Book Review
In this story Arthur couldn't find a turkey. The best part of the story was when he found a turkey. We learned that at Thanksgivintg we can have fun like Arthur. Arthur was very funny in this story. Our favorite part of the story was when Arthur was a turkey and then everybody else became a turkey. We think that everyone should read this book because it has lots of funny pictures in it. ...

Editorial Review

Richard Scarry's bright and humorous animal characters have been charming children for decades. Always inventive in the world of animal fashion, Scarry shows the cow jumping over the moon in pearls and a pink dress, and the little dog who "laughed to see such sport" sports a sailor suit. You won't hear "I can't see the pictures!" with this book; its large size makes it a good choice for group story hour. This collection of 50 Mother Goose rhymes is especially appropriate for toddlers; most of the two-page spreads contain only one illustrated rhyme. (Many children younger than three can focus better on one simple verse than on many rhymes on each page.) Read more

Editorial Review

Gaily tied up with two red ribbons, Lucy Cousins's unusual, delightful, virtually wordless "book" is in fact a triple pop-up. When you open the covers (vertically, like a door, rather than horizontally), you are introduced to this endearing rodent's kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, like three little dollhouses. In the boldly colorful kitchen is a pop-up table and chairs, and a pop-out-from-the-wall set of cabinets, complete with a range that opens to reveal a baking pie, and many other distractions. Turn the "page" and you come to a bathroom complete with a mirror on the wall, a liftable toilet seat, and a little figure of Maisy to stand in the shower stall. Each room comes with a sheet containing cut-out objects like clothing and small furnishings, to be arranged at will. In the bedroom, a tab turns a window scene from day to night and back again, and a clothes chest has real sliding drawers. Maisy is a character small children can fall in love with. Ingenious.

Maisy's Big Flap Book
Allthe children I work with love this book(pre-school age). They are engaged for extended periods of time in pretend play. Also a wonderful educational tool in which to elicit important vocabulary.
Wonderful!!
I bought this because my daughter LOVES Maisy.I thought she was too young for it (2 years old), but one rainy day I pulled it out because I was deperate for something to do.She loved it immediately and played with it for hours!My only suggestion is to laminate or tape up (with clear packing tape) the Maisy and Panda since they get worn out very easily.I know Maisy's arms don't move then, but my daughter didn't seem to mind.Otherwise, this will provide hours of fun!

Awesome!
I purchased this book and the Maisy Farm book to take on vacation with us. They traveled well and when we opened the book we loved the playhouse. My 3 year old laughed with joy when she say Maisy and all the wonderful things in her house. Best yet - when we left vacation we folded the book and packed it. This is one of her favorite toys now. ... Read more

Grandson loves it!
Grandson, age 2 loves anything with that "cheeky" Thomas the Train.A quality book with great music - we never get tired of the songs.

Great For Small Children
Good Morning Engines is a Play-a-Sound book which features 7 sound buttons: Thomas, a rooster crowing, band music, Percy, ZZZZZZ's (sleeping sound), a ticking clock, and the sound of trains chugging on the track.
great sound book

Blackout by Keith R.A. DeCandido
Blackout by Keith R.A. DeCandido is a well written and entertaining story.It is a "Spike" story, and you won't find any of the Scoobies or Buffy in this tale.It takes place in 1977 New York, and fills out the story of the last few days in the life of Nikki, the Vampire Slayer.The story alternates between Nikki's tale and Spike's, who has come to New York to bag himself his second slayer.Standing between Spike and his final confrontation with Nikki is a local Vampire mob boss, who wants Spike either recruited into his organization or dusted. When Dru unexpectedly arrives in NY, things really heat up.
Best Buffy novel yet
Finally, I was happy with a Buffy novel. I actually read this book in one day, I couldn't put it down.

Wonderful but Abridged!
Though this activity book is just wonderful and full of great crafting and learning acitivities, it is an abridged version of the book we loved when we were kids.The book, organized around the 12 number-it-yourself calendar pages, includes seasonal connect the dots, a paper village to color and build, paperdolls, paper airplanes to fold, greeting cards, Valentines, and bookmarks.The Christmas activities are missing altogether.

History repeats itself!
Twenty-eight years ago I recieved this book for Christmas.On a whim I checked to see if it was still available and I was SO happy to find out it is!My daughter loves it as much as I did when I was a child!

A classic

What, did her publisher only give her a week to write this?
I finished reading this book a while back, but I just now got around to posting my review.I absolutely hated this book.Though it did try to tie in with the information provided in Angel season 5 (which takes place at the same time as this novel), it did not do a very good job at it.Some of the information was incorrect or flat out not plausible.Some of it also did not fit in with the timeline on Angel; such as the events surrounding Andrew's visit to Wolfram & Hart.Another thing is that the writer, Nancy Holder, didn't write the characters very well.The people were either all out of character or the far, extreme stereotype of that character.This was reflected not only in their behavior and mannerisms, but also in the decisions that were made.The odd behavior was especially true for Xander, Faith and Robin.Robin Wood wasn't like himself at all.He is a very professional, well spoken man, but the author wrote him like a stereotypical black thug.In regards to the decision making, where they go after leaving California is not where I think Joss Whedon (the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) would have sent them.In the book, a surviving watcher had just begun to rebuild the Watchers Council from scratch.He was just as stuffy and arrogant as the original Watchers Council leaders had been.In addition to being a NEW council, they obviously did not have the connections or power that the old council had (which wasn't that great even at their best).The characters also put too much trust into The Immortal - a man who's history has been clouded by neither evil nor good acts (if that makes any sense at all).
A Horrible Blot On The Sparkling Buffyverse
When I heard that a book was being released detailing what happened in the Buffyverse after the Sunnydale Hellmouth's closing, I was very excited.The only hints as to what happened to Buffy and gang were a few vague hints during season five of 'Angel'.I figured it would be nice to know what happened to the crew.I wish I hadn't found out.
THANK YOU NANCY HOLDER!
I am no literary critic. To be honest I hate reading. I prefer to watch TV like oh let's see....."Buffy The Vampire Slayer," or maybe "Angel?" So when I found out there was a book that picked up right where the last episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" ended I was completely excited, and let me just say my excitement was totally justified.

A reminder to kids (and parents) how much fun Halloween is
"Franklin's Halloween" is a book that emphasizes to young kids how much fun Halloween can be.Franklin and his friends are all looking forward to the big Halloween party and trying to come up with the best costume.What Franklin comes up with is the "Franklinstein" monster and once thing you should pay attention to are the neat little details in his costume: the drawn on stitches on his wrists, the fake forehead, and the corks for bolts (in other words, this looks like an actual costume you can make for your kid).There are actually several other costume possibilities you might pick up from this book, so kudos to Brenda Clark for drawing such fanciful but realistic costumes, as well as for providing so much detail in all of her paintings.The strength of Paulette Bourgeois story is that her characters are all having such fun that when she adds a message to her story it seems the most natural point in the world to make.Franklin and his friends are just the sort of party animals you want to spend the night with on Halloween.

Franklin Shows That Halloween Is Fun, Not Scary
Franklin is a little cutie and he has lots of nice friends. They are all excited that Halloween is coming and they are making big plans. The bright colored, detailed illustrations of the quaint woodland world where they live are brimming with wholesome, good-natured fun.This is a good book for introducing Halloween to little ones so that they will not be unnerved by mysterious ghouls who'll come knocking on their doors on Halloween. It shows Franklin and friends getting their costumes ready for a party, painting, cutting and pasting decorations, bobbing for apples, playing a pumpkin toss game, and trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. They're a little spooked when they visit a make-believe haunted house but it turns out to be fun and they solve a mystery!They pool some of their goodies to deliver to their friend who is ill and can't go out trick-or-treating.It also shows little Franklin getting carried home in the arms of Daddy with Mommy walking along beside.It's heart-warming and has enough action to hold a little one's attention so they can become familiar with common Halloween disguises. It's easy to see from the pictures that Franklin is Franklinstein, Fox is clearly the mummy, Skunk is Dracula, and Goose is a wolf. Our friends dress up but we know it's still them underneath the make-up and masks.Franklin is a lot of fun at Halloween.Enjoy!

Franklinstein
My sons wants to be Franklistein for Halloween. In the book all of Franklin friends'costumes are a secret, but Bear's. They think Bear is the ghost, but it's Mr. Owl. They find out that Bear is home sick and take some of their candy to them. It teaches sharing and caring for others. ... Read more

Great Book
I thought this book was great - it was really colorful. The overall feel reminded me of the book "Now I Know the Ten Commandments". I recommend it to anyone.

Outstanding book for preschool children
As a parent and Sunday School teacher, I have used this book over and over to communicate the simple message of God's love in a fun way. The author does a great job of communicating this and the illustrations are bright, colorful, and children are drawn to this book.

My Son Likes It
My son likes reading this book. He's 3. He's not crazy about the movies, but he likes the books and CDs. I think he likes this one because it really talks on a kid's level. I also think he likes looking at the "kid" artwork of the characters. ... Read more

Watt a Positively Charged Exploration!
It is more than obvious that Joanna Cole (author) and Bruce Degen (illustrator) had the time of their lives bringing this book to fruition.Penned in 1997, "The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip" is packaged to the bursting point with anything and everything that has to do with electricity.There's so much going on here that a simple one-sided scorecard just won't suffice upon delving into Ms. Frizzle's latest adventure.It is Cole and Degen's most action-packed and tightly-woven collaboration yet.One senses from just taking in the first few pages that author and illustrator poured every fiber of their being into the Friz's ninth science-related field trip for children.

I likethisbookbecauseMissFrizzeltakesthekids
A great science book for children
An unusual science teacher takes her students from the classroom into the ocean - physically. The school bus she drives plunges right into the water and transforms, as needed,from bus into submarine, submersible, and surfboard so that her class can reach and explore every part of the ocean. The expedition starts at the continental shelf and moves through continental slope, ocean floor, deep-sea vents and a fringing coral reef. On their way, they children find themselves magically equipped with diving suits and they can now study plants, ocean water, animals and their habitats.
20,000 Leaks Under the Sea
At this point, Ms. Frizzle and her class have explored things like the waterworks, the many layers of the earth, the human body, and even outer space.So it's only natural that Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen would decide to lead their readers on an under-sea adventure."The Magic School Bus: On the Ocean Floor" is another top-notch collaboration by two people who show no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

So lovely
We just purchased this book for our six week old son and we absolutely love it. The illustrations are so charming and I'm sure it's going to be a favorite for him in these early years as it's not a complex story. I'm so glad it isn't out of print.

Gorgeous and attention-grabbing
This is the first book my son would bring to me for repeated readings (starting at about 9 months).The illustrations are stunning, and the vocabulary is perfect for infants/toddlers.I give this book to everyone with children!

A family favorite!
This was my favorite book as a child - my parents still know most of it by heart from reading it so many times! Now, my two year old son loves it too. We had to buy a new copy because my was so tattered and old. He just loved the colors and the story. He especially loves that the bunny goes to sleep at the end with a blankie - my son loves his blankie. This book is a must have for little ones! ... Read more
