my favorite book in The Magic School Bus series, Ms, Frizzle's class field trip to the planetarium turns into a trip through the solar system, In each Magic School Bus adventure, their faithful school bus transforms to take the class into the heart of their eccentric teacher's lesson plan, In this volume, their bus becomes a space shuttle, blasting into the solar system, where they journey to the moon, sun, through the asteroid belt where they lose Ms.
Frizzle ! and to each planet and planetoid, in the case of Pluto, in this updated version of the book,
Each page includes expansive illustrations full of details and clever plays on words to amuse adults, along with schoolthemed notes with fun facts and diagrams sprinkled throughout the story.
This is my favorite book in the series because I love the topic and it has more of a plot than the other books in the series.
Ms. Cole writes timeless science books for kids and adults of all ages because she provides multilayered stories, illustrations and information, which both give a lively introduction for those new to the subject and invite seasoned young scientists to return to the book again and again to find even more fun facts and hidden details.
A wonderful read from my childhood, one Id certainly suggest for other youngsters, Whilst it is not my alltime favourite childhood read I can still recall all the details of this one meaning it certainly left a lasting impression upon my young mind.
And isnt that what we want with childrens books, for them to leave a positive lasting impression On a special field trip in the magic school bus, Ms.
Frizzle's class goes into outer space and visits each planet in the solar system, OK, so a book that starts this conversation is GREAT!!
Sitting at traffic light in car, looking at the sunset:
yr old: Mommy did you know, the sun is a giant ball of gas
Me: Why, yes it is.
. . thus ensues a conversation on the size of the sun compared to the earth, other planets in the solar system, etc,
When I asked her if they were talking about the sun/solar system in preschool, she said no, she was reading about it in the Magic School Bus book.
Can I just say AWESOME!!!!
Doesn't hurt that they also watch the MSB shows occasionally as well good reinforcement of the topics, What an amazing children's science fiction book! I loved reading “The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System” by Joanna Cole, the story line was so fun and interesting to follow, plus there was so much factual information on the side of the story! Magic School Bus should be brought into all Elementary classrooms, they have so much to teach children.
In this book, Ms. Frizzles class plans on going to the local planetarium to learn about the sky and solar system, the story takes a turn when the planetarium is closed! The magic school bus then turns into a spaceship takes them up into space, the students are now astronauts.
They got to play on the moon, see Earth from afar, flew over the sun, drive through Venuss yellow clouds, learned about Mars multiple moons and much more! They ended up losing Ms.
Frizzle but end up reuniting with her in the asteroid belt, I also loved the “mini essays” that are on the outsides of each page, They included facts about the solar system and everything involved with it,

The Magic School Bus series is one that all of my daycare children have enjoyed.
This is a great book for introducing the solar system to young children, The story starts off with the children getting ready to go on a field trip to the planetarium, They load the bus and travel there only to find that it is closed! They start back to the school in the bus and while at a red light, the bus suddenly leans back and takes off! It becomes a rocket ship into space! The bus has changed into a rocket and the children are also suddenly wearing space suits and floating above their
seats.
The bus/rocket takes the class on a tour of the solar system, I recommend this book for children agesand up, This is a great book to use when teaching children about the different planets, I have a sensory box that I use when ready this book to my children, As the book talks about the different planets I have one of my children pull the planet out of the sensory box and tell me what they learned about that planet.
This book has good illustrations for children to follow,
The illustrations of the solar system make this book a real treat to read! They are great books, but the series “The Magic School Bus” already has a certain vocabulary! My niece loves the stories this class experiences! The teacher is not standing at the blackboard explaining the topics in a boring way, but the class gets on the Magic School bus and experiences for themselves how things work, how the underwater world is, etc.
! The children suddenly get floating heads and can breathe underwater, etc, ! That's how things are experienced and my son loves the stories from the Magic School Bus!! But they are also really great, of all Marry Poppins!! Ms.
Frizzle and the class explore our solar system, planet by planet and through the asteroid belt, The book is educational, giving lots of information I learned some things, but is a bit long for one sitting, We read it in two sittings, i have strong memories of reading this under my ninja turtles comforter on my bottom bunk with a reading light, it was one of the first times i had ever used a reading light, and the entire thing felt so adventurous and romantic to younger me, it's one of my fondest reading memories,
my partner read this to me to help me fall asleep because i'm sick, i felt very safe amp comforted amp taken care of, this is now one of my fondest reading memories, too, I hope there is a newer, updated version, because some facts were outdated, Otherwise, excellent! I just loved the Magic School bus series! The class goes on a trip to the planetarium but it was closed, Suddenly the bus transforms itself into a rocket and takes off! Ms, Frizzle, not batting an eye, immediately started telling the kids about the sun and various planets as the bus went by each, The fictional storyline in this one is particularly strong with wisecracking kids and fun illustrations, I thought the weight/fortune scale on each planet was a wonderful touch, It is, of course, out of date, which is why I withdrew it from the library since Pluto is called a planet although the author did note it was a particularly iffy plant.
I kept hoping Cole and Degen would update this but they never did, Oh well. This has everything you expect from this series, The only downside is that some of the science is a bit outdated, My child was criticizing the idea that Pluto is a planet, so it may not entertain the kids of today as much as the kids of thes.
