For those of you who don’t know me, I am a science nerd. I have a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and work as a lab technician. That being said, when my children came along, I wanted them to have that same love. Lucky for me, they both seem to be fascinated with the subject, which makes their momma happy! One of the things that I know helped spark their interest in science was watching The Magic School Bus Series.
This year, The Magic School Bus celebrates its 25th Anniversary, and what better way to party than with the release of The Magic School Bus: The Complete Series DVD! This 8-disc set, which includes all 52 episodes also comes with activities and brain busters. So, hop aboard the bus and buckle up, and join Ms. Frizzle and her students as they explore all things science!
Scholastic was nice enough to send me a copy of this box set for review, and the boys were super excited when it showed up! Wyatt’s favorite episode is “Cold Feet”, where Lizzy gets sick and they have to take her to the reptile doctor. Blake has yet to choose a favorite, but like me loves them all! This series did a great job of covering all the disciplines of science, so that kids can see that there is something cool for everyone to learn. I am such a fan, that a few years ago, I was like a kid when I got to meet “Ms. Frizzle”!
I honestly can not say enough good things about this series!
The Magic School Bus: The Complete Series DVD has a runing time of 1560 minutes and retails for $79.95. This DVD set would be a great addition to any home or school library! Scholastic is also releasing four single discs, which will each include 90 minutes of science fun. For more information and cool coloring sheet printouts, visit Scholastic Storybook Treasures.
