Book Reviews of The Magic School Bus on the Ocean Floor
Book Review: Sub-bus
Summary: 5 Stars
My 8 year old loves The Magic School Bus series of books (he does not like the show). He read this to me for reading but we also use them for science. In this book we look at the bottom of the ocean and each of its phases - shore, intertidal zone, continental shelf, continental slope, deep ocean, trench, mountain, island, reef. It has just enough ridiculous to make it fun. Recommended for ages 6-9 years and reading level 3rd grade.Book Review: Country girl
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this book because Miss Frizzel takes the kids
on wild feild trips. But in this book she takes the
kids in the ocean. Somtimes I draw pictures. So just read this wonderful book.
Book Review: adventure with science content
Summary: 5 Stars
A book that the primary children will love with great illustrations and information about the sea.Book Review: MSB
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter loves MSB books.... There is a lot of educational information within the stories.Book Review: Minus One for Lenny
Summary: 4 Stars
Humorous, engaging, and packed with information, this best-selling science series is aptly illustrated with lively pictures. My kids adore the cartoon bubbles and short "reports" from the students in the story. Their teacher, Ms Frizzle, is an amazing character who challenges her pupils and leads them on amazing fieldtrips. Her equally fascinating wardrobe changes with each subject and situation. All this has made it a read-aloud favorite since my eldest was three. In ON THE OCEAN FLOOR, the inimitable school bus undergoes several transformations as it transports us to and through the ocean; from tidal pools, down to the deep ocean floor, and, after a brief visit to a tropical island, home. I was touched by the inclusion of a specimen of fish, well known in my home state of Hawaii. However, I must say OUR lifeguards are nothing like Lenny, who, unlike the rest of the book, is definitely lacking on several points. Real lifeguards patrol their strip of beach and keep watch over the waters from their perch. They also patiently answer my children`s questions about the local sea life (most recently, about jellyfish) and just as patiently patch up even the smallest of "boo-boos." Minus one star for Lenny.
