The Magic School Bus: Giveaway!

Posted by Angela | 0 comments

BOOK REVIEW / PRODUCT GIVEAWAY

Ms. Frizzle’s students are putting on a play about global warming, and they need some cold, hard facts. The Friz knows just where to find them! A hop on the Magic School Bus takes the kids on a whirlwind tour. From the Arctic to the equator, they see telltale signs of climate change. But to get the really big picture, the class has to get really small – so they can see exactly what is in the air and why it is making the world warmer. What they find gives them a real cause for concern!

When thinking about caring for the Earth many teach their children how to recycle. Parents tell their children not to be a litter bug, to ‘reuse, reduce and recycle’,  but fail to explain the how’s and why’s of its purpose. There is some good science in those explanations!

The Magic School Bus takes you to those answers in their new book, “The Magic School Bus and the Climate Challenge“.

My family was very excited to receive this book for review, however, I had no idea the extent of the detail we would find! So, as not to give away the story, I’ll give you these buzz words:

• The Greenhouse Effect
• Fossil Fuels
• Solar Cells
• Atmosphere and Molecules

Those are only a few of the topics your children will be able to add to their knowledge of caring for the Earth. As always, in true ‘The Magic School House’ form, both young and old stand to gain some information from purchasing up a copy. However…

We are hosting a giveaway*! Three lucky readers can win one of the following prizes:

One Grand Prize winner will recieve:

• Organic seed starter kit
• Copy of The Magic School Bus and The Climate Challenge

Two (2) additional winners will receive a copy of the book!

Retail Value: Grand Prize Seed Kit is valued at $26.95. Books are valued at $16.99 each

* This book giveaway is open to participants with a United States mailing address only (international readers can enter if they have a friend in the States who can accept their prizes by mail.)
