 makes learning fun November 1, 2001

My five year old son plays this game endlessly and now knows an astounding amount about life in the ocean. I believe it is rated for kids eight and up, but he has been playing with varying levels of skill and very little frustration for over a year. Even our three year old loves to play, although he doesn't manage the games very well. As a plus to parents, there is very little about this game that is irritating, even when played over and over and over. You may find your child telling the corny jokes, though. All in all, a wonderful learning experience. We will be looking at other Magic School Bus CD-Rom games.

We own all of the Magic Schoolbus cd's available to mac users. This one has the most information and the most games of all and has been played more than the other four combined by children and even occasionally the obsessed adult after hours. What more to say!
The software quality and educational value is excellent! December 2, 2003

My son (6 yrs old) enjoys the Magic School Bus videos and books, so I figured he would like this too...He LOVES it. He's had it for a year and still enjoys it. We have added three additional titles and he loves them too. My husband is a computer instructional designer and is always frustrated with poor quality software for kids, but this is well written and thought out software that even he approves of!I would recommend any of these titles you think your kid would enjoy!
Rainforest with Miss Frizzle October 24, 2001

My 5 year old daughter loves! this CD. She's often telling me interesting tidbits about 'Costa Rica' and I'm wondering where she's getting all the info from. Then I realize that it all has to do with the rainforest and that it is from this game. She'll play it for hours, (if I let her). There are lots of games, places to explore and fun to be had.The only thing that would improve this game is to have more narration. It is set for a higher age level, so that's understandable...
excellent educational and fun software March 21, 2002

My five year old son just loves this software. He likes the cool graphics and the games. I like the fact that it is educational and fun at the same time. More than other software, this one offers a tremendous amount of activities with many new adventures to be had with a click of the mouse. I would definately buy other magic school bus software for my child.
