The Magic School bus chapter books are Zach's absolute favorite. He loves the science and math information, but also the fun and exciting adventures the characters have. I am always hearing fun facts he learned from reading these books

My daughter re-reads these often. Got them for her when she was 5, that's a bit too young for some of the science concepts and vocabulary in these books. I'd recommend them for ages 7-11.

a good classroom resource for three grade and up to support science and learning in the modern classroom
