  So I guess they wrote a book series, made a TV show based on it, wrote new books based on the episodes, recreated the TV show with a hair straightener, added some 45-minute "movies." And we are consuming them all.

  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.

  The Magic School Bus Gets Eaten by Pat Relf and Patricia Relf, is about Ms. Frizzle’s class taking a field trip to the ocean. This book teaches students about the food chain.
  
  The illustrations in this book are fun and colorful. The content in this book is very detailed but it is still easy enough for kids to be able to read and understand the material.
  
  This book would be great to inspire a lesson where the students write down what have they had for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The students will then break down what they ate and create a food web from it.

  This is a book about food chains, primarily ocean food chains. Ms. Frizzle and the kids go on a field trip to the ocean and figure out the connection between green scum and tuna fish. It's funny and enlightening and you just can't beat a field trip with the Friz! Our girls love these
  Magic School Bus TV tie-in stories!

  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.
  
  They learn about food chains in the ocean, from phytoplankton to albacore tuna...

  A fun book to use when exploring the food chain or marine life. Children love the adventure given throughout the story. I would use this in upper elementary grades.
