Scholastic has done it again! In this collection you will get classic stories, great illustrations, and talented narrators. This is a great resource for the classroom (as a 1st grade teacher I use this across the curriculum) and highly entertaining for the little ones at home!

I purchased this DVD set fo my 3 year old. I had purchased a Scholastic DVD for him in the past that he really liked so I decided to roll the dice & hoped he would like these too. I have too say when I put the movies in and saw that they were read along and stories straight out of the 70's & 80's I -1) had a flashback to elementary school & -2) thought for sure my son would hate them!
I was surprised to see him so interested in the cheesey filmstrip like movie but he really likes them!! I guess there is something to be said about a good story!!

The movies are exact to the books that have been around forever. My son is only 2 but enjoys watching them. They are short and just the right duration for his attention span. I am also a teacher and think that having books brought to life in this manner is ideal.

I am very choosy about what my children (ages 9 and 2) watch on the television. We don't subscribe to cable or satellite tv for that very reason. However, this particular type of video programming is totally awesome! These stories follow the books exactly as they are written, and my children know these stories word for word, so they would know if any artistic liberties had been taken. After watching these videos, my children are inspired to act them out or read the story books again and again. I find that very rewarding because, unlike other types of media, what they are acting out is wholesome and pure, child-appropriate behavior. Also, there are quite a few stories on each dvd, so you're getting a good value.

My son received one of the individual dvds in this collection as a gift, and promptly cracked the disc trying to remove it the first time. He was heartbroken, so I went looking for a replacement and found this treasury for a much better price than the original. We love these stories, you cannot beat Scholastic. And, This is such a nice "boy" collection. They are very well done, in fact our preschool uses these dvds sometimes to reinforce the reading of the books.

Very pleased, recv'd sooner than expected. Great variety of DVD storybook collection for any boy. Ours loves it, especially "I Stink" since he is in love w/ garbage trucks!
