The Wheels on the Bus

All aboard and off we go on the bus to the watering hole!

The wheels on the bus go round and round, taking a chorus of animal friends along for the ride. Can you identify each one? A lion roars, flamingos flap, and a hyena laughs a big ha-ho-hee. Don't forget to watch out for the crocodile, whose jaws go snap. Together, a simple bus ride becomes a grand adventure. Toddlers and parents, one and all, can sing and move along.

Jane Cabrera's Story Time gives favorite nursery rhymes and songs a new toddler-friendly twist. These interactive favorites feature bold, bright, illustrations and catchy refrains. Don't miss other fun titles including Old Macdonald Had a Farm, If You're Happy and You Know It, and Over in the Meadow.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
