The Magic School Bus Inside the Earth (The Magic School Bus #2) Reviews
-
The illustrations almost have a 'Where's Waldo' quality in all the details in the pictures and the time that one can spend poring over them, which was one of the nice things about the Magic School Bus.
Looking back at these books as an adult, I think they're still fantastic and almost timeless, but I would have loved to know where the hell the Magic School Bus came from and if Ms. Frizzle was some kind of witch or space-traveling alien or something like that. -
The Magic School Bus Inside the Earth is intended for students in grades 2-5 and is a Reading Rainbow book. In this Magic School Bus book, Ms Frizzle's class learns about different kinds of rocks and the formation of the earth as they go on a field trip to the inside of the earth.
This is an informative, exciting, and attractive informational book that takes readers to the center of the earth. Readers learn something new with the turn of every page as they explore the crust, mantle, and inner and outer cores of the earth. The class also collects rock samples before they are forced back to the classroom by a volcanic eruption. The illustrations are done in a watercolor cartoon format and dialogue bubbles contain information about the earth or humorous comments. The pages of information about rocks from the students reports and a section that discusses the real and fantasy aspects of the book is also helpful. The text and illustrations are a bit cluttered for my taste, but would be best used in the classroom when introducing or reviewing aspects of the earth. Readers of this book will be taken on an exciting, unforgettable adventure. -
I would have said that the pages are too busy, but that doesn't seem to bother the kids. There's something to appeal to each of them -- one of my nieces studies Miss Frizzle's clothes, another keeps track of the kids in the classroom, while my nephew focuses on the earth science info.

Once again Ms. Frizzle takes her class on a field trip to gather rocks. The bus drills through the earth and comes out of a volcano, which then erupts. They get a really cool rock collection and young readers pick up many geology facts and terms along the way.

Ms. Frizzle and her class are off to explore the inside of the Earth and learn all about rocks and minerals in this fun and educational picture book!
We read this for our B&R-1st Science curriculum! -
Limestone is made of shells all pressed together. The Empire State Building is made of limestone.
The word "stalagmite" has a "g" in it, which stands for 'from the ground'.
The word "stalactite" has "c" in it, which stands for 'from the ceiling'. -
Magic School Bus Inside the Earth is a great story to read to your students when your learning about the Earth. This story explains the different types of rocks, how fossils are made, and what comes out of a volcano. Students love to read a fun book that involves information they can use in real-life experiences.

A wonderful read from my childhood, one I’d certainly suggest for other youngsters. Whilst it is not my all-time favourite childhood read I can still recall all the details of this one meaning it certainly left a lasting impression upon my young mind.
And isn’t that what we want with children’s books, for them to leave a positive lasting impression? -
Loved this one as I've always been interested in geology. But all the Magic School Books are a wonderful tool for teaching science to kids. They're fun and effective in inspiring young children to want to learn more about various branches of science.

If you like magic school buses you might like Magic School Bus Inside the Earth. One day Miss Frizzle announces to the class that tomorrow they have to bring in a rock.The next day almost everyone had a excuse. If you want to hear what happens you will have to read the book. Hattie

Read this one aloud to my fourth graders to kick off our earth science unit. Despite my concern they would feel it was 'babyish,' they ended up being enthralled. The Friz does it again! Proves there's nothing quite like read-alouds to capture kids' imaginations and attentions.

The Magic School Bus is an adventurous, fresh approach to teaching science to children. The story Inside the Earth is for second and third-grade students. The teacher Ms. Frizzle is having her students move from studying animal homes to earth science. The class is to take a field trip to collect rocks aboard the Magic School Bus. The students first dig through the earth’s crust learning the different layers and different type of rocks. Then the Magic School Bus takes the students through the center of the earth and then out onto a volcanic island. Throughout the entirety of the story, the students in the class are sharing what they are learning and connecting it to real life examples.
The story portrays learning science as an exciting adventure. It shows students taking initiative and being hands-on in their learning experiences.
The illustrations were created to be as realistic as possible to help the reader learn as much as the students in Ms. Frizzle’s class did. The illustrations are colorful and express the storyline in multiple ways. Besides the storyline text, there are thought bubbles, speech bubbles, and additional facts throughout. The book incorporates a lot of ideas and elements. I truly enjoyed this fun yet extremely educational book but do also caution this book to be read by only the appropriate level students. As the wording, throughout (including the text, facts, and speech/thought bubbles) can create confusion for some readers of what to read first and or the sheer amount on every page could simply be overwhelming.
Overall, I think this story is a way to allow students to enjoy reading about science. The plot is not all facts but rather facts learned throughout a wild adventure. This story incorporates imagination into important elements of the science world. I would keep this book specifically and many other Magic School Bus books in my classroom library for students to be able to read. -
I absolutely love the Magic School Bus! They are so educational and the illustrations of the teacher are always so exciting: I even felt that way as a kid when I would read them. The end of the book presents about 10 vocabulary words related to earth science. I feel that any amount of these books can be turned into a lesson either covering more complex science concepts at the 6/7th grade level, or even just the parts of the earth's core in 2/3rd grade level. It could be something as simple as painting an earth structure and connecting words from the book to their projects. The book is long as detailed enough to where a teacher could read this over time in a week or day, and execute the lesson plan later in that time.

The students in Ms. Frizzle's class take the Magic School Bus deep, deep underground to see rock layers, caves, magma, and even a volcano.
We read this book in first grade reading club. It's level P, so the teacher read the narration and Ms. Frizzle's part, and the students read the kids' speech bubbles and the captions. It was nice that the book had parts for everyone to read.
Here is what we thought:
Emiliano, age 8: This is a good book for kids to read because they can learn about the Earth. My favorite part is going into the Earth. 5 stars.
Fernanda, age 8: It's a good book because you can learn about volcanoes and lava. My favorite part is when the bus is falling through a hole in the rock. 5 stars.
Frances, the teacher: I would recommend this book for anyone in grades 2-5, especially if you are interested in geology. The inside of the Earth is a place we don't usually get to visit, and it's fun to have a book that can take you there. The pictures are especially great! -
Niatnya iseng nyari audiobook ahasa inggris yg kosakatanya ringan buat didengerin dan ternyata nemu serial ini. Serasa nemu hidden gem di storytel! kangen juga sama serial kartun ini dan ternyata nemu audiobook nya disana.
Bukunya aku rekomendasiin buat yg mau pertama nyoba audiobook bahasa inggris karena kosakata yg dipakai masih ringan dan mudah dipahami, durasinya juga gak lama, cuma 20 menitan. dan yg terpenting, mengobati rasa rindu dan nostalgia sama kartun ini! Xixi -
This was one of my favorite shows as a kid! I always wished my school bus could be magical! In this one the kids go to the center of the earth and learn about rocks and the layers of the earth. Is it just me or are those kids a little cynical and a lot ungrateful? I would go crazy with happiness if I had a teacher like Ms. Frizzle!

My children love these little books. They thoroughly enjoy each and every story, as if they are all unique and individual without any cause for similarity among them. Even though sometimes, they might seem tedious and repetitive to me as a parent, I do enjoy being able to read short-stories to my children that are clean and respective.
-
What a great book to teach kids about the types of rocks and how they are formed. The layers of the Earth and what rocks are used for are mentioned as well. This is another good field trip with Miss Frizzle!
-
One could safely call this infotainment - educational with entertainment
Quite good although the look lour for Ms Frizzle business grows old very quickly.
Anyway this is book 2 of the series, we will see how long we will keep going for. -
We really liked this one too. All the sidebar info makes for a challenging read aloud but a good one to go back through and catch more info alone. Takes a subject that could be a little dry and gives it some life.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as The Magic School Bus Inside a Hurricane, but I did learn stalagmite has a ‘g’ for ground and stalactite has a ‘c’ for ceiling - handy! Also, you are always on top of rock, whether you are on land or sea. To quote Greg from Over the Garden Wall - it’s a rock fact!
-
I loved watching the Magic Schoolbus growing up and now my son loves reading the books. It's a fun way to teach kids and they have fun doing it.
