 A tad outdated audio/visual quality June 20, 2009

I do like this set, especially getting it a great price! But I was a tad disappointed because the quality just seems like it belongs in the 1980's. That is, with so many technological advances, I'm sure that a new set can be presented by scholastic taking advantage of more animation, more color, and more spark. I think they're good, but that they need a complete make-over. Still, I rate it three stars because I love all of these stories. I'm a mommy of two and an early childhood education teacher. I think the quality of the video/DVD quality does not do complete justice to the actual marvelous, award-winning books. Maybe other people actually like the fact that the books on film stay true to the story and are not overdone with special effects. But I kinda would've liked more. I showed the DVD's to my children in class and many lost interest. I think they like it better when I read the story to them than watching some of the stories on the DVD. I think it's because, eved though they don't realize it, they realize that it's a bit outdated.
 Great for Long Trips! May 16, 2009

We traveled recently to Ghana, West Africa and brought a number of the Scholastic videos with us. This was perhaps one of the best decisions we could have made.
During our 4-hour layover we used one of the videos to keep our almost 5-year old and our 3-year old sane.
Needless to say, on the 10-hour flight the videos came in handy as well. The kids didn't even fight when we let them sit together to watch videos.
In Ghana the kids and most of their 9 cousins enjoyed watching the videos as bedtime stories. They didn't all need to understand the words to enjoy the stories!
There were times when we read to our kids during the trip, but it was a lot easier to capture their attention and keep them out of trouble with the videos. Highly recommended, especially for long trips!

I bought this for 5 grandchildren and the toddlers loved it. I think the parents liked it more. It is like reading the stories to the kids and they can follow along if they have their own copy of the book (or from the library). It is the original art work with the narration and words so it is nice for early readers.
excellent buy May 8, 2009

I think I enjoyed these more than the kids. It was fun to see the books I read as a kid put into video form. I like that they use the original illustrations. Cheaper than buying the books. You don't miss out on the reading b/c they go slow enough for the kids to follow along.

As expected, this set was extremely well received by our 5 and 2 year old grandaughters. There were several unexpected surprises in the titles....
