This story is about a young girl who's mother is a writer. The girl watches her mother work and picks up pointers on things that writers do. The girl then starts some writing of her own. As a teacher, I have found that, this book inspires my students to become writers and it is wonderful to use with "writer's workshop."

The first time my son saw a Jesse Bear Board Book at 10 months old we were at the library. I had to re-check it out 2 times (the max they would let me) because he couldn't part with it. This started me on a hunt for all Jesse Bear Board Books. My son is now 17 months and they are still his favorites. He can say them a long with me. We read them over and over and over every day! He loves lots of books, but these are truly the greatest hit I have seen yet. After teaching school to Kindergarteners and Pre-schoolers, using the other Jesse Bear Books, I am glad to find Jesse Bear books for the toddler. We are sold on Jesse Bear at our house. What a fun way for children to be introduced to the world of words!

We never tire of Josefina's story. It was a great introduction to the western migration, and sparked my daughters curiosity about the prairie and the period. I would recommend it.

This book contains three short stories. Each story is fast-moving, exciting and holds a unique morale about friendship. The two Main Characters, a Lion and a Lamb, meet in the first story and become Friends, "Now and forever". This unlikely friendship leads to exciting adventures. Finally, the full-color illustrations are outstanding. This is definitely an excellent book to be enjoyed over and over again by young children.

When Ralphie takes Liz home for the weekend, something's wrong! He forgot Liz's habitat! What place is best for Liz? A nest? A pond? A rock? Can you help Ralphie find a home for Liz?

I am a fourth grader in Lockport, NY. My name is Tiffany. I helped my teacher, Ms. Fletcher, by reading this book and deciding if 2nd graders would like to read it. I think that 2nd graders would LOVE to read this Liz book. Let me tell you about this book: It was Keesha's turn to take Liz home for the weekend. Carlos came over to help paint a rainbow on the wall. They made a rainbow for Keesha's grandma on the wall with only three colors - red, blue, and yellow. My favorite part is when Liz fell into the paint.

This book is a great book to learn about electricity. My daughter wants me to read it to her over and over, and I have learned from it, too!

My 4 year old loves these books. He has us read them over and over. He studies the information in them. The books are great for us on 2 levels. Each book has a story that you can follow and then more information on each page in small bubbles. When we just want to read the "story" we can read it on that level. When we want to go indepth with our son we can look at all of the cartoon bubbles on the pages and talk about what the kids are doing. We have really enjoyed it. The books all bundled together in this great briefcase make it more affordable to buy magic school bus books. Our son loves to tote them around and take them with him when the PBS show is on. This set includes one of the most loved Magic School Bus books Inside the Solar System! You can't help but become a science lover.

"The Magic School Bus" series is a gift for parents and techers who want to interest younger readers in science without pain.

The bright colourful illustrations catch the imaginations of younger readers and complex concepts are brought across simply but accurately. Readers identify with Arnold and the other children. They enthusiastically take part in the discussion as if they were right inside the covers of the book.

(My son is sure he can out-reason Dorothy-Ann, and this stimulates him to work out what happens next.)

The Magic School Bus Gets Eaten is no exception. Concepts of food chains are brought across simply but clearly and readers are led to make deductions based on previous information.

Excellent stuff! My son wants the next issue now!

I'm a kid and watch the Magic School Bus on TV. The books are even better! When Arnold gets lost in a hurricane on one of Ms.Frizzle's wacky field trips, the kids need to know the parts of a hurricane to find him. I thought it was creative and funny to include a radio that knew everything and could dance. By the time Ms.Frizzle's class goes on the real field trip, they have become experts on hurricanes. The weather team is amazed at the intelligence of the students. This book is great because it's not like those other books that lag on and on about one subject without any excitment. The Magic School Bus books make subjects like hurricanes, fun to learn about . I liked how the kids knew more than the weather team. I give this book two thumbs up!!!!!!!!!
