 Great for a wide range of ages October 30, 2009
E. Orgon (Syosset, NY USA)
Bought this for my older daughters children: 7, 4, 3, and 1.5. All reports are that ALL of them love the DVDs and the stories, from the old familiar ones to the newly discovered. Picture quality is very good and packaging very nice. Seems like with the appeal to such a wide variety of ages (and sexes - 2 girls, 2 boys) that these DVDs will be around and in use for a long time, making for a good value for our increasingly hard earned money ! Recommended.
A Must Have Addition for Your Child's DVD library October 16, 2009

I received this Scholastic DVD set yesterday, and it is the BEST purchase I have ever made from Amazon. They had sent an email informing me that it was on sale for $50 off the regular price so I paid $3 EACH for the 16 DVDs. No need for your child to get bored with this selection of 100 stories (they count some "repeat" stories done in Spanish).
The stories are grouped either by author or subject with a wide range of writing styles and beautiful art illustrations to expose your child to an unique learning experience. I recommend that you print off the list of stories that a previous reviewer wrote, and take it with you when you go to the library or shop for a new book for your child or grandchild. It's important to not just rely on the dvds, but to have your child READ the book too. Try to set a long term goal of having your child READ each of the stories, and check them off your list. Or at the very least pick your favorites and read them. It is doable, just realize it will take some time. Believe me, it will be an rewarding experience for your child and you to share, and it's one way to raise a well educated, well read child.
My absolute favorites in this collection are:
"Good Night, Gorilla" and other bedtime stories. (Very calming, and relaxing. "Good Night, Gorilla" will win your heart while you will get a chuckle out of "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?")
"Chrysanthemum" and more Kevin Henkes stories
"Strega Nona" and more Caldecott Award winning folk tales. (All of these stories provide a good moral, but we particularly loved "Joseph Had a Little Overcoat".)
"Is Your Mama a Llama?" and more stories about growing up
"Click, Clack, Moo..Cows That Type" and more stories on the farm (very humorous)
*It's nice that they include stories from different cultures, and ethic backgroungs. Check out "Flossie and the Fox" from "Curious George Rides a Bike" and other tales of mischief.
ENJOY!
My kids love this collection. October 16, 2009

I bought this set for my girls (two and five) about a year ago, and they still use it pretty much every day. (And yes, I still read to them.) I buy all the big animated movies, and they still come back to these. 16 discs give them plenty of variety, and there's not a bad one in the bunch. I've never been happier with a purchase.
One side benefit - my oldest actually recognized Carole King (this set includes 4 songs from Really Rosie) when she came on the radio.

I bought this for my step-mother who's a teacher and she says her kids love this. Also my neice really loves them too. A great product to have out there.
Great stories September 23, 2009

I try to limit TV watching as much as possible, but these stories have become staples in our house. They're great for several reasons:
1. The videos are drawn from good books, so the stories are all good
2. Most of the animation is not too busy -- simple and traditional
3. A lot of the music is really good. Just the Antarctica story alone has about 10 great songs that my kid loves to sing
4. Each disk has bonus stories that are often as good (or better) than the headliners
5. The stories are short, and so are perfect for limited-time wind-downs
I have been impressed with the consistent quality of the set. Each disk has a different theme, but I have been very happy with all of them.
