"This is a great book to use when teaching the solar system. Children love the magic school bus and have fun getting to know the different characters. The pictures in this book are great. It would be fun for the students to be able to see the solar system through the eyes of Ms. Frizzle and her class. This book is full of great facts about the solar system that could easily be used to introduce or reinforce concepts of the solar system."

Quotes
-
“Energetic…should not be missed.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Replete with a full cast performance, occasional sound effects, and an energetic background score, the book comes to life for listeners…It is done to perfection.”
— School Library Journal -
“First-rate science in a delightfully appealing package.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review) -
“The delightful energy of a Magic Schoolbus adventure radiates through this adventure!…This is experiential learning at its best! Morris and Adams sparkle as the students—testy, anxious, bossy, and bickering—and the quirky Ms. Frizzle. Factual information about the solar system is provided subtly and effectively. Sound effects—that of an asteroid hitting the bus, for example—complement the adventure.”
