Why read it?

2 authors picked The Magic School Bus in the Time of the Dinosaurs as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It is hard to think of your childhood without remembering The Magic School Bus. Both the books and the show were simply captivating and taught scientific concepts in a fun, engaging way that stuck with all of us. It is always my go-to when I am teaching science, and my kids absolutely adore watching or reading this series.

The Magic School Bus series is the perfect blend of entertaining and educational. I love how Cole delves into dinosaurs & prehistoric creatures in this book. The characters all work together so well. And who doesn’t love spontaneous Ms. Frizzle?! This whole series contains classic reads for children and I highly recommend it.

From Caroline's list on for children to explore the world.
