Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Yet another publication promising to lead adults through the maze of children's videos, this book offers both predictable choices and some thoughtful and unusual suggestions, along with practical advice. A journalist covering children's video, MacAlpine is also on the National Advisory Board of the Coalition for Quality Children's Video. Using a topical arrangement by genre (features, music, discovery, activity, literary adaptations), MacAlpine recommends titles with medium to lengthy annotations, written in a breezy and fresh style. The videos range from the well known (Disney) and the questionable (Barney) to classics (Children's Circle and Rabbit Ears) to some little-known treasures (Canadian features and National Film Board of Canada animation), with some commendable and excellent titles from independents (KIDVIDZ and Lightyear Entertainment). Each chapter features a brief "interview" with an authority or celebrity about the topic. Selection tips, ordering information, and helpful resources are provided. Although always open to quibbles about inclusions and exclusions, this is a sensible, sensitive, and knowledgeable guide to generally top-notch videos for young viewers and their families. Irene Wood
