a must have for the home video library 
2008-08-25
Magic school bus is always a hit in our house, and catches a wave is no different. If you can look past the info on things being millions of years old, instead of creation based, you will love this. Very entertaining and lots of good information.
Another hit! 2008-07-14
I recommend Magic School Bus videos to all moms - I don't mind my kids & grandkids watching these over & over. I think they help build interest in science for most kids.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. It arrived in good shape and within the time line that was promised at the time of purchased. My daughter loves to watch them and share all she learns about science with everyone she comes across. I will not hesitate to buy more vidoes by Karen Bernstein.
Catch a winner! 2007-11-02
My kids LOVE the Magic School Bus videos. We've learned so many new things. They watch them over and over again. It's even interesting for the adults.
Water, Water Everywhere 2007-09-12
I homeschool (unschool) my son, and the Magic School Bus series is GREAT for teaching kids science. We now have all the DVD sets and a few VHS's.
If you're unfamiliar with the premise, the central characters are Ms. Frizzle (a teacher), her class, Liz the lizard and the Bus. Ms. Frizzle takes her class on crazy field trips, where Bus--and sometimes the kids!--experience a transformation so they can get closer to the action. (For example, become a bee or turning into water droplets.)
I recently purchased The Magic School Bus: Catches a Wave for my son to complete our collection. As usual, it's excellent!
This particular DVD has a run time of 80 minutes and features these three episodes:
Wet All Over - The Friz takes her class on a rainy ride through the life cycle of a water drop.
Rocks and Rolls - Friz and the kids go on a rough-n-tumble journey as they see a boulder subject to water erosion.
Ups and Downs - This bubbly trip takes place at the bottom of Walkerville lake!
There's not much in the way of bonus material, as usual (only What Comes Next?: How Fast Can YOu Unravel These Water Mysteries). The languages available are English, Spanish and French.
Highly recommend edutainment for children, especially if you want to introduce or reinforce science concepts!

Great!! 2007-01-06
This DVD has been so helpful with my children. I have 2 autistic children who Love this DVD series. I decided to show them The Magic School Bus since it is educational and they absorbed and memorized it very quickly. They now have a better grasp on science, math, every day life, the enviroment and much more thanks to this DVD and the many others like it. I would recommmend these DVD's for both special needs and typically developing children. It is entertaining (even for adults) and it is brightly colored, peppered with humor and has great facts. The kids don't even know they are learning!!
