Absolutely Wonderful DVDs
My son (6 years old, diagnosed with autism) absolutely loves this series of dvds. His thirst for both tv and knowledge is satisfied with this eclectic teacher, magic school bus, and well rounded group of kids.

As an adult, I enjoy the dvds. They're interesting and educational - full of fascinating facts that you never knew. Plus, Lily Tomlin is the perfect Ms. Frizzle.

These are well written and acted (voice) enough to keep children engrossed. There is enough drama and humor throughout to keep it from ever feeling like they're being forced to learn something useful - but they are!

They're also excellent tools to open discussions about nature, bees, how caterpillars turn into butterfly's and they explain way better than I ever could.

Another added bonus for me personally is that my son has loads and loads of anxiety. These informative dvds educate him about things such as bees and take the fear out. He's not even afraid of spiders after watching "creepy, crawly fun."

I highly recommend for all children.

My Children Love the Magic School Bus..So Do I..
The Magaic School Bus series are a great way for children to learn many topics in science. My children enjoyed "Bugs, Bugs, Bugs". I also found myself sitting down and enjoying this series. This DVD would make a great addition to any childs video library..

Bees, Ants and Butterflies
I homeschool (unschool) my son, and the Magic School Bus series is GREAT for teaching kids science. We have 4 DVD sets and a few VHS's.

If you're unfamiliar with the premise, the central characters are Ms. Frizzle (a teacher), her class, Liz the lizard and the Bus. Ms. Frizzle takes her class on crazy field trips, where Bus--and sometimes the kids!--experience a transformation so they can get closer to the action. (For example, become a bee or turning into water droplets.)

One of our most recent purchases was Bugs, Bugs, Bugs! and it's excellent as always. These three episodes are:

*In a Beehive - Exploring bee behavior and a beehive
*Gets Ants in Its Pants - Learning about the industrial world of ants
*Butterfly and the Bog Beast - Metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly

There is also a few bonus features:

*Bug Challenges
*Find the Camouflage Butterflies
*Ant Olympics

This CD runs about 82 minutes and is supposedly geared towards children 3-8. Personally, I think the age-appropriate range is more like 6-10 because of the complex concepts introduced.

However, if younger kids enjoy it--more power to them! It certainly can't hurt to introduce science to younger kids if the Magic School Bus holds their interest.

My 8-year old son really enjoys the series now (he didn't get into it when he was younger), so I use the Magic School Bus series to supplement our learning/experimenting with science principles.

MSB Always Winners
The Magic School Bus books are true treasures. They are fun and packed with great scientific information explained in a way that kids can really understand. The shows are great adaptations of the books and the original story lines very good too. My kids love the Magic School Bus and this video is no exception!
