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 second Jumbo Box of Storybook Classics apply catchy music and skillful animation to dozens of stories, including Arlene Mosel and Blair Lent's Tikki Tikki Tembo, Jane Yolen and Mark Teague's How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? , Don Freeman's Corduroy, Peggy Rathmann's Good Night Gorilla, Paul O. Zelinsky's The Wheels on the Bus, and H.A. Rey's Curious George Rides a Bike (there's only one George story on the DVD, unfortunately). The Scholastic DVDs include bonus stories as well as read-alongs and English subtitles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful addition to the video collection, March 8, 2007

By	W. Golden - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My children absolutely love it when we read them Wheels on the Bus and Good Night Gorilla. I am not fond of providing video to my children but when it is basically the book that I just read to them... I gave in. Not only do they love to see the video but then they want to read me the book. I had to buy the other books on the video because my child wanted to read them to me as well. So now I have Dem Bones and I know an Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly, to name of few others. I think the ones that have music associated with the book really speak to my children the most but overall the collection is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love these!, May 13, 2007

By	Kathleen G. Rodrick "Katmonster" (Stuttgart, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All three of my kids (boys 7, 3, 1.75) LOVE these videoe. We put one on before bed and depending on how "on or "off" schedule we are, I can choose the right number of shows for them to watch. They are pretty short, which is nice...my kids always want to watch a movie to the end, which can be a problem at night. Our favorite by far is "Goodnight Gorilla". They have done a superb job animating these lovely story books...you will not be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars one happy child, October 17, 2007

By	Wendell L. Peterson "Wilbur Prescott" (Magnolia Ma, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My wifes 2 1/2 year old grand niece is fighting agressive leukhemia and asks for Curious George often. We saw this on Amazon and knew she would love it. Her days are long and difficult and this little Monkey is a happy friend. Her pleasure is sincere, and I would recommend this set for any child.
