Ｍａｇｉｃ Ｓｃｈｏｏｌ Ｂｕｓが、ヒトの体の中を探検するというものですが、４−８歳児向けとなっていますが、大人でも楽しめます。内容はしっかりしているし、単語レベルもその割りに高めのような気がします。次のページをめくるのが楽しみで、何回も読みたいです。絵も解り易いです。ユーモアのあるちょっとユニークな絵も私は大好きです。
Ｆｒｉｚｚｌｅ先生もユニークでいいですね〜、このシリーズは他のも読みたいです。
たのしみながら、つぎつぎと、しかもテンポよく体の中をバスに乗って探検。わたしも一緒にバスに乗った気分になってしまうのがなんとも不思議！なるほど、こうなのか。と知らず知らずのうちにどんどんいろいろなことを学んでしまう。”体の中はこうなっているのかあ・・・。”これは、おもしろい！！。こどもといっしょに何度でも読んでしまう。幼稚園の子供からでもok!。
ぜひ、おすすめ。
One of the best-selling children`s science series`, The story text is at once humorous, engaging, and packed with information, further amplified by short "reports" by the students in the book. My five-year-old enjoys the lively pictures and entertaining comments provided in cartoon bubbles. Ms Frizzle is an amazing teacher, who sports and equally amazing wardrobe. She challenges her students and leads them on unbelievable field trips.
This trip, like many of the Frizz`s expeditions, takes the kids to a place where they least expected to go: inside a functioning human body (kind of like that movie with Rachel Welch and Donald Pleasance)-- specifically, Arnold`s body. Certainly he is equally unaware of his classmates` whereabouts as he gulps down the miniaturized bus along with his "cheesey weezies" and makes his way back to school alone, he thinks; with encouragement from a talking bird. [We do sometimes wonder why birds and radios (from INSIDE A HURRICANE) talk but Liz the class` horned lizard does not.] Unlike INSIDE RALPHIE, which deals more specifically with the immune system, this takes us through the whole human body. For more information, Joanna Cole also has a more detailed book about the body for children, YOUR INSIDES, illustrated by Paul Meisel, which includes overlays.
