  As I child, I thought this was so cool, and then I grew up and realized that it was a complete and total rip off of "Fantastic Voyage" and now I'm not so impressed.

  I enjoyed this one. I’m afraid Maddy was already half asleep through most of it, but this is good for teaching kids the importance of taking their medicine, and it shows how the medicine (and their bodies) actually work. I also remember watching this episode when I was a kid. 😂

  یکی-دوتا از کتابای این مجموعه رو خونده بودم ولی یادم نمیاد کدوما بود. صرفا یادمه بی‌اندازه کارتون‌هاش رو دوست داشتم. عاشق کارتوناش بودم یعنی، خیلی خوب بود. 8->

  In this book Ralphie is a school reporter, but he gets sick the day of the broadcast. Ms. Fizzle and the class climb aboard the school bus and head to Ralphie’s house to do the broadcast from there, but he is very worn out and tired. The kids all pile back on the bus and shrink down, and then they enter Ralphie’s body. Inside the travel to his sore throat and watch the bacteria that are attacking the walls of his throat. Then the children watch and comment as white blood cells fight back. Just when the white blood cells start to lose, medicine comes down his throat and helps to fight the germs. The kids have to fly away before the white blood cells come after them to. The story ends with Ralphie feeling better and the kids heading back to school.

  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.

  Our girls adore the Magic School Bus series, both in books and on tv, and I think they've seen this episode a dozen times. But we finally found the book version in the
  Magic School Bus TV tie-in series at the library. They could practically recite the storyline, but it was still a good story about a fictional trip inside the character "Ralphie" to see how his body fights germs, with the help of medicine. It's a short story and very interesting, though there are a few parts that are purely to entertain (like going out through the nose).

  Perhaps this book should have been called The Magic School Bus has a Pox Party. Actually, aside from the obviously bad idea of taking the whole class to see someone with a cold and then pinging a metal projectile all through out his body, this was one of the better Magic School Bus titles. The story line is exciting enough to keep school age children engaged and has just enough information in it to provide some educational value. It is possible that I will use it for a Discovery Time program on germs.

  I absolutely love the Magic School Bus books. This particular book is great to teach students about germs and other microorganisms. It gives students many factual information about germs while entertaining students as well with vivid pictures and humor. I would use this book in the engage portion of a science lesson on germs and microorganisms. This book can be used for students in 1st-5th grade.

  Little Miss and the Legomeister

  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.
  
  This one's about how the immune system works. Good plot and information.

  Flash to a few years back, when trying to get my UC diagnosis, and I had to swallow a Bluetooth pill [that contained a camera] so the doctors could see my intestinal track...I was telling EVERYONE I had my own magic school bus. The cool people got it...other people I had to explain this book/episode of the show to.

  These books are for all ages. The magic school bus is a great way to teach science to students in a fun and easy to understand way. This book will be used when teaching students about the effects of germs and where they come from. It also teaches students how they can avoid spreading germs to others.

  This was a good Magic School Bus for the most part. Why is it that so many children's books have to have situations where they decieve the parents or the parents are to busy working to take care of their kids??? Hmmm. We'll I know why.

  Love this book! It'd be great for any age. This Magic School Bus selection focuses on germs and about white blood cells and microorganisms.
  The children have to escape before the white blood cells attack them also.

  great for an introduction to a science lesson. Can have the students predict and learn about germs.
