Actually, there are 3 different sets of Magic School Bus.

- most expensive, as the marked price per book =>US 5.99 (~$58 /bk in popular bookstore)
- a set of 10 books (written by the original author Joanna Cole)
=> the most popular series out of the 3 different sets
- full of pictures with less words (~ similar to comic books) on every page which is more suitable for younger kids. (quite a lot of information on a page, messy-looking, but most kids love this series.)
