5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable Value, Eclectic Collection December 3, 2009
Format:DVD
Scholastic's collection of 100 Storybook Classics is like no other DVD set we've ever owned. Crammed full of animated renditions of well-loved modern children's classics and a wide range of animation styles that match the feel of the original picture-books, there's no better bang for your DVD dollar.

Parents will be thrilled to find well-respected works of literature that have endured the test of time ' Robert McCloskey's Make Way for Ducklings, Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, and H.A. Rey's Curious George Rides a Bike are only a very small sampling of well-loved tales that are found in this collection.

Newer inclusions in the set include Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr., Max's Words by Kate Banks (a new family treasure), andDiary of a Spider by Doreen Cronin. This is such an eclectic collection of animated stories that there is something here for everyone. Animation ranges from pans over the original picture book pages in The Five Chinese Brothers by Clare Huchet Bishop, to full-blown modern animation in Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson, to live-action shorts in Frog Goes to Dinner based on Mercer Mayer's book of the same title. Likewise the production age of the shorts range from the '70s through to recent years.

Divided into sixteen separate DVDs, each represents a thematic collection of stories. For example, the Diary of a Spider DVD also includes other 'critter stories', one about a mouse, another about a 'tadpole', one about a frog, and the other, a termite. Other DVDs include the work of specific authors, the Where the Wild Things AreDVD includes six animated shorts from Maurice Mendak, and the Ezra Jack Keats Collection includes seven stories from ' you guessed it- Ezra Jack Keats.

Each DVD features four featured titles that play with optional 'read-along' text that displays along the bottom of the screen and changes color as each word is narrated. As a bonus, two to three additional animated shorts are included that don't have the 'read-along' feature. The stories that are the most well known also feature foreign-language narrations and 'read-along' text in the target language. Some of the titles include Spanish versions of Make Way for Ducklings, The Snowy Day, Where the Wild Things Are (also available in French), Click, Clack, Moo and more.

Professional narrations are provided by a huge array of voice artists, some notables include: James Earl Jones, Patrick Stewart, Meryl Streep, Pete Seeger, Sarah Jessica Parker, and many others. The stories are wonderfully read, with great matches between the narrators and the stories they've been assigned.

With over 19 hours of viewing, and 100 'picture book inspired' animations included in this sixteen-disc set, you just can't go wrong! Of course there will be some that aren't your favorites; for instance, I'm not a fan of Maurice Sendak, and the jiggly little-boy-bits of In the Night Kitchen have turned me off of that DVD. On the other hand, there are absolutely wonderful new treasures that we've discovered -Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes, and The Foolish Frog by Pete Seeger, are great additions to our digital library.

A very handy guide for checking off which Scholastic Storybook Treasures DVDs you own in your collection is included, along with a small activity book that corresponds with several of the stories in the DVD collection.

I've never seen such a comprehensive collection of animated storybooks, and I highly recommend it ' the cost is less than $1 per animated story, and these treasures will be enjoyed for your children for many years to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Storybooks-- Not the greatest DVD set July 9, 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought this set was a great concept. It comes well packaged and each of the main books included covers one of the DVD pages. When I list the names below, the stories on the cover will be labled with an "*" ...

I was disappointed by the organization. Yes. The stories artre all clearly listed on the box in alphabetical order, but they're hard to find on the DVDs because they're not organized in any particular way per DVD set.

For example. I LOVE Courduroy. They probably could have included the live action movie along with the two cartoon versions that more closely resemble the books. Instead.. they put a book called "Yo! Yes?" on the DVD... That starts out with two kids throwing a ball back and forth saying and one saying "You? ... .... .... " pointing to himself and tossing the ball and the other one responding "You? ... ... ...." ...... hmmmm... not so educational. Not so interesting. Kind of a waste of space on the DVD. This particular DVD also has "Here Comes the Cat!" -- which I had never heard of.

While skimming the DVDS, I thought I was getting jipped. 3-4 stories on each of the 16 DVDs doesn't really come up to 100. Thats when I noticed they were counting sories they put in the DVD features as a special. I thought the features area was supposed to be for author comentaries... actual extras.. ?? Then.. The best part of this is that you actually only get 90 stories. 10 are also available in Spanish. If you're not learning spanish.. Given that most DVDs currently come in English and Spanish--- This was a little disappointing. AND misleading. I think that's why I couldn't find a list of stories included ANYWHERE.

The "read along" is really just captions. You can turn them on yourself.

You can't skip their advertisement for the DVD set you already own. You can fast forward... but strangly, you are then able to forward past the main menu and end up watching something aweful.

That being said.. there are a few good ones on here. I haven't really decided if it was worth buying as a set or if I should have purchased each one individually. I spent $50. I'm seeing some of the individuals selling used for as low as $1. (I don't think I'd spend much more than $3 on each one as an individual). Resale value is low....

Key to my list:
Here's the list (And again.. astericks mark the ones that are on the cover). (Sp) means that it is also in Spanish. I have gone ahead and numbered them Sp-10 accordingly. "Bonus" means the story is located in the special features section as a bonus story, rather than on the main menu. ... I only included such detailed info on 8 of 16 DVDs. However, all of the titles are listed.

Half star lost for including "Bonus" spanish versions as 10 of the 100 stories.
... Oh .. And spanish versions are included for:
click Click Moo, Curious George Rides a Bike, Is your Mama a Llama, Leo and the Late Bloomer, Make Way for Ducklings, Musical Max, Stone Soup, Strega Nona, Where the Wild Things Are, Why mosquitoes buzz in Peoples Ears.

5.0 out of 5 stars A healthy way to entertain children May 28, 2008
Format:DVD
As a Reading Specialist and grandmother, I enthusiastically endorse the Scholastic Treasure of 100 Storybook Classics. First of all, they selected excellent books for children. Secondly, they utilized the illustration style of the originals, so the aesthetics of the books are clearly presented and preserved. Thirdly, the animation is well-done though not overdone. The pacing is slow, as when a book is read aloud. This gives the listener a chance to absorb the story, just as he or she would if the story were being read aloud. It even has the option to include the text on each page, if you have a blossoming reader. In fact, this is just about the equivalent of having someone read aloud great picture books for your child, while you do -- whatever.
