Don’t be scared! These monster stories just want to have a little fun! DANNY AND THE DINOSAUR (By Syd Hoff) When Danny visits the museum, he thinks it would be nice to play with a dinosaur. Well, the dinosaur is as eager to play with Danny, and they spend a whole day together.

THE BEAST OF MONSIEUR RACINE (By Tomi Ungerer) Monsieur Racine lays a trap and catches a marauder, a strange but harmless-looking beast, who has been stealing his prize pears. What happens when Monsieur Racine presents his catch to the Academy of Science throws Paris into an uproar.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son can't get enough of this DVD!, August 22, 2006

This review is from: Danny and the Dinosaur... and More Friendly "Monster" Stories (Scholastic Video Collection) (DVD)

I borrowed this DVD from the library because my 4 year old son is named Danny and he loves dinosaurs. He has watched it continuously for the past few days, and now I find I'd better buy it. The title story isn't his favorite, though. He loves the Island of the Scog, which is a cute little story with a surprise ending. He also enjoys Stanley and the Dinosaur, which I find quite frightening, with scary-looking cavemen and a scary-sounding narrator. But it has a good message.

I grew up with Danny & The Dinosaur and now my son gets to grow up with this story and many others too. He frequently goes to the DVD player and puts the disk in "all by myself!" so that he can watch it - over and over and over again. We never get tired of it because the music and stories are lots of fun.

A classic book comes to life with some nice bonus stories to boot. Deserves to be reviewed once every other late August.
