Helpful Score: 3


Cindy Neuschwander & Joanna Cole (Magic School Bus) are my two absolute favorite authors! When an author can take a concept that even some high schoolers don't understand and creatively present it so that even someone in kindergarten can get the bacsic concepts...well, that is truly a gift...and those are the books I want to read over and over and over again. I LOVE this series!!! They're so fun to read! Even my 3 year old likes them. The setting is King Arthur's time period (knights, dragons, etc.). Each book has a math-related mission/quandry/theme. By using math (all explained in simple terms with catchy ways to remember what terms mean, the problems are solved.
