Dinosaur Detectives (The Magic School Bus Chapter Book, #9) Reviews


  • Christina (Confessions of a Book Addict)

    A fun romp through the time of the dinosaurs - my son loved it!

  • Finn Lofgren

    It was a very interesting book. I learned about how dinosaurs live and move.

  • Maximilian Lee

    I think the book is for younger kids because the kids were learning about all the periods and dinosaurs and I learned that stuff a long time ago. However, this book is very educational.

  • Aiden Styles

    The book is very terrific.

  • Dolly

    We've read all of the
    Magic School Bus picture-books that we can find and now we're working our way through the
    chapter books, too. We just love the Friz and her class; the characters feel like old friends to us.

    This story takes us to the age of the dinosaurs. It has a lot of factual information about the different dinosaurs that lived during different periods of time. There's a lot of excitement and danger in this tale and we enjoyed reading it together.

  • LuAnn

    Always a good teaching tool but not alway effective for just reading, Magic School Bus sometimes takes too much time to stop the story and give information. All the sidebars can also be distracting, but elementary teachers seem to love the books anyway and I suppose the kids do too.

  • Theresa

    science supplement to add to the classroom library

  • Melz (mele) manako

    it was cool it had heaps of facts like the big plant eaters plants eggs are the same size as a football and its funny when phoebe plays with the tiny dinosaurs. :) a very good book hope u like it.

  • Morris

    "My favorite part was Liz, the crazy lizard, rescued Ralphie from the giant dinosaur."

  • Kristin

    It was a fun way of learning more about dinosaurs. I read it to my 5 year old, and while some of the information was advanced for her, I liked the pairing of fiction and non-fiction.

  • Suki

    Review by 5yo: I learned that you should stay away from some dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are real but not alive anymore. Are dinosaurs dead? Yes. Are dinosaurs alive? No.

  • Brayden

    First book of 2019 :)
