I am a big fan of the Magic School Bus series. This one teaches about the Solar System and the nine planets.

This is not as outstanding as the other Magic School Bus games. This is more click and point with static lessons that the child can read. Not much in the interactive area for my 5 year old. He loves most of the other Magic School Bus games, and does not mind this one but it is not one that he is attached to- and he loves learning about the solar system.

This is not the jewel in the crown of the Magic School Bus CD series (Animals, for example is much better), but it does have some good features. In particular, the activity on ozone & the greenhouse effect is excellent- our 2nd grader really grasped the concept after playing with it for a while. The plot, however, is to find Ms. Frizzle, which our kids found frustrating. You get clues by earning tokens from an arcade-type game- the only MSB title we've seen that requires you to play an arcade game in order to complete it. It may be that the Microsoft progammers figure that space=boys=arcade game, but our kids were annoyed about it. They were even more annoyed when they worked out from the 1st clue where she was and found out that you have to get all 3 clues anyway. On the other hand, kids who like arcade games might be induced to learn a bit about the solar system.
Good stuff on the solar system! February 22, 2002

Very fun, fact-filled interactive material! Suitable for upper elementary kids. Includes some goofy games, a "where in the worlds did the Frizz go?" and lots of click-on goodies. Great way to play and learn!
