Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Scholastic videos let big folks rest their reading glasses by adapting Caldecott-winning and other worthy kids books to the small screen, with consistently impressive results. The six DVDs in the Jumbo Box of Storybook Classics apply catchy music and skillful animation to 35 stories, including Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, Crockett Johnson's Harold stories, William Steig's Pete's a Pizza, Kevin Henkes's Chrysanthemum, James Marshall's Miss Nelson Has a Field Day and Miss Nelson Is Back, Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault's Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and Andrea Zimmerman and David Clemesha's Trashy Town. The Scholastic DVDs double the running time of their VHS counterparts with bonus stories as well as interviews, read-alongs, and English subtitles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A set that can't be missed, October 14, 2003

By A Customer

If you and your kids love children's books, then you cannot go wrong with this set. It's a STEAL! Each DVD has an average of 6-7 of the best stories in children's literature. The artwork and narration is exactly the same as in the books. These DVDs are educational and really bring childhood favorites to life in a new way. Don't miss these. Be sure to expand your collection with some of the new ones as well, such as Click Clack Moo Cows That Type, Harry the Dirty Dog, Goodnight Gorilla, Twas the Night Before Christmas, and The Snowy Day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine viewing for all ages, August 30, 2005

By	Susan Jankowski - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have seven grandchildren ages six and under and there is a great and very favorite story for each and every child in this set, and for me as well, since I watch what they watch and I love it when they ask to watch this set. They even discuss the different stories long after they have watched them. Yesterday, the 22 month old watched, Pete's A Pizza, three times in a row, laughing each and every time. My favorite is, The Amazing Bone.I highly recommend this set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV for toddlers / preschoolers, December 11, 2006

By	Minnesota - See all my reviews

I got this as an alternative to TV programs for my 2 1/2 year old son. It's such a nice collection. Each DVD runs about an hour and has tons of stories. He loves it and this is a really good deal too for 6 DVD's. They are all from books and ranging from really funky 60's-70's animation to ones that are from stories just a few years old. It's great!
