The Magic School Bus Makes a Rainbow: A Book About Color

This would be a good book to introduce the concept of white light, how it refracts and is made up of the color spectrum- but I do not think that this could ever stand alone as a teachiing material. I understood the concepts because I have been educated on this physics, but I think it would be confusing to young students learning about color. Never the less, the Magic School Bus makes science more fun.

The Magic School Bus Makes a Rainbow: A Book About Color by Joanna Cole, Jocelyn Stevenson,
This book I listened to and it starts out with about the author and about the illustrator.
Starts out with kids asking the teacher why the colors are in the order they are.
The kids talk among themselves and experiments they try to do. The closet is making noises and they go to investigate.
She teaches them how to use the machine and how to use regular white light to make a rainbow.
Field trip takes them to magic bus. They go into the machine, prisms and colors, so magical.
Teacher shows them to game to play to make the colors. I have seen the prisms in my eyeglasses and in my magnifying glass, it so so cool and you can easily get lost just watching as show more you turn just a tiny bit.
I can just imagine how colorful this book is. They have a problem getting out of the machine til one thinks harder about it...
Letters to the editors are included at the end. Note from the teacher also and she talks about transparent items will allow light to go through.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). show less

ahh, the memories. I enjoyed the books and the show as a kid. This was one of my favorites. YAAAAAAAAY RAINBOWS!!!
