Can 版主 pin this topic on top? I've replied the old one on Part I. And please rename the old topic to part one. Add a message to ask people go to part two. Otherwise, part I is still growing.
Although the Chin version is quite cheap, I prefer to wait till my son reaches the standard required for reading chapter books.
The English books are always more 原汁原味。
It's a pity that the translated books only provide the translated, simplified Chinese version, without Engl version alongside. Otherwise it would be perfect - cheap, and in Engl.
I like the Original English Version of "The Magic School Bus" as well. As what you said, the Eng books are more 原汁原味. I highly recommended this set of books as it can introduce the science concept to children in a simple and interesting approach.
The following English Version "Magic School Bus -TV Series" will be available at IXXX soon.
I added the link for Part I of this topic on my bottom banner once I started part II. (Probably the fonts are too small, now I changed it with larger fonts size. Can you all notice this link on my signature?)
BTW, you didn't appear on the book forum recently? (Are you OK??)
Hi Bluestar,
You are so quick. Can you describe the NEW STAR SCIENCE in details? (Are they the Textbook or story books?) Is it worth to buy? Yes ar! I'm now digging for the Science book for my son. (Right now, I love the MSB the most.)
I didn't see the real books yet and the information are just copied from the official website.
Haven't looked carefully at the NEW STAR SCIENCE yet, feeling was, not THE TEXTBOOK, more like interactive workbook type.
I just had a glance, found the contents OK, and $11@x2 + 20% discount for 2 Engl books on science was a bargain, and GRABBED them !!
No time for it yet. Need to teach my son Engl grammar from scratch first. (from verb to be / to have [I am/you we they are/ he she it is; I you we they have / he she it has] onto abbreviated positives [I'm / you we they 're/ he she it 's; I you we they 've / he she it has] and abbreviated negatives [I'm not / you we they're not / he she it isn't; I you we they haven't / he she it hasn't].
All in 1-hour crash course !!
And teacher said to read Engl story book once a day (as much of a book as possible daily then "renew" borrowing from class library the next day until we finish a book then get the next one), instead of only during the weekends when we have more time to finish a whole book.

Thought that you may interest in. (These titles are not the same as in the bookclub.) These titles of Magic School Bus (Orginal English Version) are available at IXXX.
There are so many versions of MSB, it gets so confusing.
There was a 13-books set, available from Idxx in June. + 2 Liz books.
That was different from the 12-books set (TV set) now.
Then there are the chapter books - about 20 titles now with lots more to come.
Just like OUP's MTH, Magic Key, OST - never-ending, paying-paying. :-( :-( :-( broke-broke !!
1. The Classic Series (10 books only) - with picture and words. (= China version set I)
2. THe TV Series (more than 30+ titles) - the 13 titles which are available at IXXX before. And Now another 10+ titles available are also part of the TV series. The stories of these books are based on the TV show which were written and published as the TV series. (with Pictures / full illustrations and words on every pages.)
3. MSB - Chapter book series (20+ titles)
=> the text version of the MSB stories.
