Excellent graphics, solid information, and lots of humor combine in this fun exploration of the animal kingdom. Users can explore Ms. Frizzle's classroom and her students' reports (a mix of animation, photos, and live action video) to learn all about specific animals. Then they can hop aboard the Magic School Bus itself to investigate biomes all over the world. Games in each biome educate about specific concepts, such as food chains, camouflage, and even scat. Users are additionally challenged to find animals which are in the wrong environment. A fun, interactive introduction to animals of all kinds.
