Magic <strong>School</strong> Bus Explores the World of<br />

Animals : ver. 1.0 (Magic <strong>School</strong> Bus Volume<br />

1)<br />

Scholastic Inc. / Microsoft Home (Firm) 110.172<br />

The bus can be driven to seven different animal habitats, where games, puzzles, <strong>and</strong> examinations teach about<br />

animals in fun ways. The ultimate goal of traveling is to return four misplaced animals to their proper habitats.<br />

Compared to the games <strong>and</strong> puzzles, this was actually the most challenging aspect of the program. Each of the<br />

games <strong>and</strong> puzzles can be accessed several ways: through the classroom, through the equipment in the back of<br />

the bus, or by clicking on bones, art rocks, <strong>and</strong> game rocks in each of the habitats. The games all have a slider to<br />

change the game from easy to hard.<br />

The World of Animals presents a great deal of information about the creatures <strong>and</strong> habitats that form the seven<br />

areas that the Magic <strong>School</strong> Bus can visit. S<br />

ome younger students will thus find the narratives overwhelming. The point-<strong>and</strong>-click requires a good deal of<br />

precision. The CD-booklet did not make clear how many children could sign into the classroom <strong>and</strong> save their<br />

games, but only one child may play the program at a time. The games <strong>and</strong> puzzles depend heavily on mouse<br />

movement.<br />
