To celebrate this amazing milestone, Scholastic Media and New Video are releasing this perennially popular series to DVD, with several configurations--the most comprehensive set is The Magic School Bus: The Complete Series (September 4, 2012) which contains 8-DVD with the packaging featuring a 3D lenticular cover with artwork that makes the characters leap off the page!
Here is the synopsis of The Magic School Bus: The Complete Series from the back of the box set:

With all these configuration options, there is something for most everyone who has or cares for children in the 4-10 age range. Now, I must admit, my now 5 year started watching The Magic School Bus even younger than that--it started with his love for vehicles that caught his attention, now it is his love for learning that keeps him watching. I love that my son is being educated while being entertained and that the information in the episodes are in-depth enough for him to watch repeatedly and retain more each time, plus it will be a great supplement for what he is learning in school--if they are learning about space, I can pull out their space adventures for him to watch and so on, I think it will really help reiterate and help him retain the information he is learning in school. I will definitely be keeping my copy of The Magic School Bus: The Complete Series for the next several years as my son goes through grade school! I really don't think you can go wrong with this series!
