Praise for THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS AND THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE

An Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award Winner

A Cooperative Children's Book Center Choice Book of 2010

"Another humorous outing."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"Given the breadth and complexity of the topic, this may be the most ambitious book yet in the Magic School Bus series. Cole and Degen carry it off with their matchless combination of intelligence, style, and gradeschool humor."--BOOKLIST

"Readers... will eagerly soak up the chemistry and physics in this sparkling environmental primer."--CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"The series continues making science facts fun and engaging."--PARENTS EXPRESS

"It's a tested formula that's still as effective as ever for cluing in younger readers with a mix of instruction and droll side remarks. The bus isn't even close to running out of gas yet... particularly as it's now a hybrid."--KIRKUS REVIEWS

"I just gotta tell you that I HIGHLY recommend The Magic School Bus and the Climate Challenge. As I've come to expect from Magic School Bus books, it gives some solid background in a quirky format on what might otherwise be considered a 'too-complicated-for-kids' subject matter."--Green Parent (blog)
