Knuffle Bunny is great, it's awesome - but it's only 5 minutes long. The Scholastic Storybook Treasures feature a "main event" that gets you to buy the disc. Then they fill the rest of the DVD like the undercard of a major boxing match. The second story - "Shrinking Violet" is very good also. Two good stories, but the remaining stories are quite boring. At least, my three and a half year old thought so. Knuffle Bunny and Shrinking Violet are worth the price, just don't expect the full DVD to be as good as Knuffle Bunny.

Knuffle Bunny is a wonderful story to share with young children and this video enhances the story by making it even more special. Having both Trixie and her dad narrate makes the story more real. I used in with my K-2 grade library classes and both boys and girls identified with Trixie losing her bunny. They all laughed when she started bawling and her daddy tried to hide with her behind a tree. They all also know what going 'boneless" meant and many admitted that they had gone "boneless" more than once. The love between father and daughter shines bright, making this a must have video for lovers of the book.

Like Trixie, my 3 yr old daughter has a very special bunny. We fell in love with the Knuffle Bunny and Knuffle Bunny Too books right away. Our daughter can really relate to Trixie and now and then even calls her bunny 'knuffle bunny'. As far as the dvd, our daughter loves watching Knuffle Bunny, Planting a Rainbow and Will I Have a Friend?. The other stories don't seem to have her interest, however that is probably just an age or personality thing. I am happy for her to watch books being read to her and word tracking on the screen. Our daughter loves to be read to, but I think she enjoys seeing some familiar books come alive with animation.

I first saw Knuffle Bunny on In Between the Lions and was so excited to find it on DVD. My kids could watch this over and over. It's a story that even parents could appreciate. The other stories are good too. Two disappointments are that we already have the story, Brave Irene on another DVD. A plus to this is that we like the story. The other dissapointment is that we wore this DVD out. Our own fault but, well worth it.

Review is for only Knuffle Bunny. Just showed my husband the DVD version of Knuffle Bunny. He LOVED it. Kept comparing Trixie to our daughter as a baby. The DVD is so well done. The music is awesome and keeps the story moving along. He teared up at the end when Trixie said her first words. I have shown this DVD many many times in my school library and it is always a hit. Recommended for everyone of all ages :)

This dvd is on frequent rotation in my car player and I dont get bored of hearing it. Both my daughters love it and the stories, though varied, are all sweet and wholesome. When we planted a garden of our own, my older daughter wanted to watch "Planting a rainbow" immediately afterwards to make sure we got all the right flowers!

This video entertained the children. They empathized with all the characters and it made them laugh. They wanted to watch it again as soon as we were finished watching it. I don't think that has happened before.

Knuffle Bunny is one of our family's favorite books and we can't wait to see the DVD. We have other Scholastice Storybook DVDs and have never been disappointed. They are true to the original book, gentle and adorable--we don't even feel guilty letting our children watch them, and our kids absolutely love.
