The Magic School Bus Sees Stars: A Book About Stars Reviews
-
My generic review of the Magic School Bus books -
We really love the series. This book doesn't have all the cartoony dialouge asides that the earlier books have. There are maybe a comment or two per page instead of full conversations. Some people hate that; I think I prefer it. The page is less busy.
These books clearly explain a certain topic. There are often additional activities at the end of the book for further learning.
We read these for 'fun' during picture book time and we read them when learning about a certain subject.
Most of the books have movies which correspond. We've enjoyed those as well. -
I was excited to use this book in my stars lesson but it just didn't have the info I was looking for. It defines stars, shows different sizes, but doesn't go into color or why we can't see them during the day or even why they twinkle. Still, it has a place in the science center.

don't be bossy and be honest
-
The Magic School Bus takes the children on a space adventure of star exploration to choose one to buy. Great science information included.
-
We love the Magic School Bus series. These books are so informative and visually appealing for readers of all ages.
-
We've read so many of the stories in the
Magic School Bus series - and our girls have loved them all. Sometimes they can be a bit of a pain to read aloud, especially if there is a lot of dialogue or extraneous notes, but we still enjoy reading them together and they are so interesting that it makes science fun. I love that! In this story, we learn a bit about stars. And while it's just a tiny fraction of the information available about stars, it helps to reinforce what they've already learned (for example, that the sun is a star) and it expands their knowledge about how stars are formed and how far away they are. We really enjoyed this story and will continue to search out the few remaining books in the series we have not yet read. -
The Magic School Bus Sees Stars is such a cute and interesting book. I loved reading it when I was a child in school, and still enjoyed it 15 years later. Ms. Frizzle and her class take a journey into space to see stars after some class mates decided they wanted to see what a star looked like up close. They wanted to do this because they saw an add on television that was selling stars for just seven dollars and they needed to buy their friend, Dorothy Anne a present. After they went and visited the star they potentially wanted to buy they learn that it had been sold, they then decide on buying a red supergiant star! After buying it the star explodes, and the class learns about star age and rebirth of stars. I highly recommend this book by Joanna Cole. It is a must have in an Elementary classroom and in the library.

I love the Magic School Bus books. I've read quite a few over the years. Legomeister loved them a couple of years ago. He still checks them out sometimes, but he doesn't ask me to read them to him anymore. Now it's Little Miss who requests them.
In this one, the Magic School Bus kids decided to buy a star, and visit them to decide which one they should get. -
Dorothy Ann (D.A.) isn't at school today, even though it's her birthday! The children and Ms. Frizzle struggle to figure out what to give her and finally decide upon a star. Off they zoom into space to learn about all the different kinds of stars and how they are formed.
Great illustrations. -
The Magic School Bus book series are great double duty books that work in literacy and in science! The Magic School Bus Sees Stars explores stars in a kid friendly writing. Common reading strategies like predicting, doing a picture walk, inferring etc. can all be incorporated in this book.
