Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Alexander knew it was going to be a terrible day when he woke up with gum in his hair. His best friend deserted him. There was no dessert in his lunch bag. And, on top of all that, there were lima beans for dinner! How many more mishaps can Alexander endure?

Product Description

On a day when everything goes wrong for him, Alexander is consoled by the thought that other people have bad days too. Designed in conjunction with a major children's publisher, Scholastic, the Read With Me DVD Learning System is a story comprehension and vocabulary system bringing timeless children's books even closer on DVD. Beloved illustrations are brought to life with thoughtful animation, and the text is highlighted and read aloud to children. Children answer questions about the story using a wireless controller, not included. Increasing their comprehension of the story and vocabulary will give them confidence in their own ability to analyze stories in general. Features over 100 activities and interactive questions. For use only with the Read with Me DVD Learning System, sold separately.

My son (age 3) received several of the Read With Me titles for Christmas. Alexander is by far his favorite one. Its a cute story and the questions it asks range from easy to more difficult, so he feels successful, but is still challenged and learns from it.

All of the stories offered with the Read with Me player are all great classics. This one was a new one for us, and Cameron enjoyed it. I think if you have a little one that is cranky sometimes this is the story for you. I am hoping that they come out with more stories, what a great concept for children, this keeps them learning and reading and on their own....Buy it, you WON'T be disappointed.

Daughter got the console & 4 books from Santa Christmas... we love them all & she's happily reading even over Christmas break when not required!

I gave it a 3 for durability because it is a cd which, by nature, are NOT durable. Definitely don't recommend you allowing your small child to handle them as gooey kid prints & scratches will affect the playback.
