no5no5,
the magic school bus books are complete stories and not books about a tv show, though there is a show that exists. They are high quality book, both the picture books and the chapter books, and my children both liked them very much. I would just totally go with what your child picks, and not try ot move up to chapter books before they are seeking them out. I did this with my kids and i regret it. I recently brought it up with my DS7 and he said that he read chapter books when he was 5 because i "talked him into it".. i felt so bad. I did it with the best of intentions and i did think he enjoyed them. But what he remembers is that he did not pick them himself. He has alsways loved complex picture books like Graeme Base and the quality is amazing. Some chapter books are really poorly written and not that interesting.
