Video Description

From KIDS FIRST!: When you watch this DVD, you are getting much more than a lesson about the environment. You are exposing children to culture, beautiful music and rich story-telling. Feel the excitement of a rain storm coming in after a drought and listen to a native American prayer of thanksgiving as you listen to music and view art appropriate to each story. This collection celebrates people of all races and brings out the joy of simple things in life such as a trip to the pond where a boy and dog make friends with a frog. “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands: and More Stories to Celebrate the Environment” exhibits cinematographic and musical excellence and promotes a balanced appreciation of self and others. It also stimulates language development. KIDS FIRST! Child Juror Comments: This made me sleepy. I liked some of the stories. The music was good. I sang some of the songs like “He’s got the Whole World in His Hands.” I like to wait for rain storms and have parties in them. It was kind of slow. The art was really good. It showed what they were feeling a lot. When they were happy, it really showed. I liked the rain story because I like playing with my friends in the rain. My friends might like this if they want to watch something that helps them fall asleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful DVD!, August 2, 2010

This review is from: He's Got the Whole World in His Hands... and More Stories to Celebrate the Environment (Scholastic Storybook Treasures) (DVD)

Giving Thanks has to be our favorite on this DVD. My sons love this story and it is narrated so well by Chief Jake Swamp. The music that accompanies it and the beautiful, slightly animated illustrations have a hypnotic effect and make it a great bedtime story. He's Got the Whole World is sung by Crystal Tagliefero and her music is joyful and vibrant. We love her versions of All the Colors of the Earth, Waiting for Wings, Planting a Rainbow and both Chicka Boom and Chicka 123 that appear on other Scholastic DVD's. Owl Moon is another lovely piece on this DVD! Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Scholastic DVD, April 21, 2010

Scholastic DVDs are consistently the best DVDs for kids on the market. Taking the most beautiful story books and turning them into a treat for the screen is Scholastic's specialty. The books retain their integrity, but the video enhances the experience. In many cases, we first learned of a book through a Scholastic DVD and rushed out to buy it (one of our favorites is Alberto the Insect Architect). With authors like Jane Yolen and illustrators like Kadir Nelson, this one is another winner.

My kids loved singing the songs. my daughter absolutely loved this video. We especially enjoyed reading it with the video. My only wish is that they made the sound available in French.
