Editorial Reviews

Turn that frown upside down with inspirational stories that never quit. THE DOT (By Peter H. Reynolds, Narrated by Thora Birch) Vashti may not be able to draw, but she can at least make dot. At the school art show, her dot makes a big splash. AMAZING GRACE (By Mary Hoffman, Illustrated by Caroline Binch, Narrated by Alfre Woodard) Grace's classmates discourage her from trying out for Peter Pan in the school play because she doesn’t look the part. But guess who wins the part and role and proves them all wrong? BRAVE IRENE (By William Steig, Narrated by Lindsay Crouse) When Mrs. Bobbins, the dressmaker, gets too sick to deliver her dress on time, her daughter Irene steps in and battles powerful winds and snow to prove that where there is a will, there is a way. DVD Features: Extra Bonus Story Exclusive to DVD: "Flossie & The Fox" By Patricia C. McKissack, Illustrated by Rachel Isadora; Spanish Version of "Amazing Grace"; Read Along; Interactive Menus; Story Selection; Auto-Play

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dot is Terrific, March 3, 2006

This review is from: The Dot...and More Stories to Make You Feel Good (Scholastic Video Collection) (DVD)

This dvd, The Dot was an attempt to encourage my 4 year old son to keep picking up the crayons, and not to compare his work to his big sister, who is 5 years old. It worked like a charm, even a dot is a beautiful work of art, and the way you choose to look at it, can make it magical. He is finding his way to paper and pens more often, thanks to The Dot.

5.0 out of 5 stars All of What Makes Scholastic Dvds Great is Here, March 21, 2008

This review is from: The Dot...and More Stories to Make You Feel Good (Scholastic Video Collection) (DVD)

If you love classic childrens literature, simple but charming animation and if you want to inspire your children (and maybe even yourself) then you will love this Dvd.

I bought this on a whim along with other Scholastic Dvds containing classic stories I was more familiar with. I was pleasantly surprised to find 3 fantastic stories of children in dfficult situations and how with determination, perseverance and self confidence they overcame. The Dot and Amazing Grace being more realistic and Brave Irene more fantastic, this is an imaginative and inspirational collection without becoming too sappy.

I particularly liked narration in The Dot by Thora Birch.

My students loved "The Dot" film only. They didn't care for the additional 3 stories on this DVD.
