Customer Reviews:
Reviewing Space Explorers! August 1, 2008 This is a great book for any fans of Ms. Frizzle and the Magic School Bus adventures. I use this book in my summer school class as a whole class reading book to go along with my unit on Space and the Universe.
A Synopsis For My Classroom Library November 17, 2003 9 out of 13 found this review helpful
I had to review at least two books for reluctant readers for a Graduate class that I am taking and I would like to share my synopsis of this particular book. (I had to come up with a classroom library of at least 50 books from a variety of genres and award winners.)
This book is #4 in the series of The Magic School Bus; A Science Chapter Book. It includes black and white illustrations, some informational excerpts, and some written work by the kids in Ms. Frizzle's class. There is a lot to be learned in this story about their adventure through space. It can be enhanced by viewing the video The Magic School Bus Gets Lost in Space and/or by reading The Magic School Bus Hello Out There: A Sticker Book About the Solar System or The Magic School Bus Fact Finder: Space and the Planets. Children can even get on-line at and view the web site, www.scholastic.com/magicschoolbus for a "space tour". The book would be a good book for reluctant readers because it is easy to read with large print and easy vocabulary. It is also a fun story about an interesting topic. (The book itself lists a reading level of 3; ages 6-9.)
