 Great product, great value... May 1, 2009
Michael Fielden (San Jose, California)
Bought this set of classics on some special Amazon promotion and my kids love them. The quality of some is a little dated, but they're classics and they're certainly not any worse than the originals. Definitely recommended for everyone with kids - and maybe even those of you with a little kid inside.
 Good Value and Good Clean Content for Children! April 26, 2009
M. Wang (California, USA)
This collection of DVDs translate some much beloved children's books into video. Scholastic did an amazing job here, and the stories are faithful to the original books, and yet they add an additional dimension to the story with animation and audio.
A lot of children's videos are lacking in quality.
My 4 year-old daughter enjoys them very much and I recommend this to parents.
Very age appropriate for toddlers - educational and high quality April 26, 2009

I didn't buy the entire set all at once - I've been buying the DVD's one by one or in sets of three. Our local library has most of them and I borrow them from the library and then buy the ones that I know we'll watch over and over. It was a good way to test drive the DVD's before I commit to them. As a mom who monitors TV content closely and limits the time spent watching TV, I find that these are quality videos. Usually we have read the print version of these books, but he has taken to a number of stories that we haven't read yet. I have found that he will ask for some stories over and over, and will even "talk" about them or tell me the story after watching the DVD. He just turned 2yrs so I am very excited about encouraging his language development as much as I can.
We have sat down with the print version while the DVD is playing - it doesn't work so well for him right now. He'd rather watch the animation then look at the static picture and words. But my guess is that once he gets to reading age, he'll be able to follow the words in the book and work on his reading skills. We already talk about the videos (who was in the story? what did they do? where were they going?) - so I find that they are great educational tool in that respect.
As far as price - I think buying the entire set at the price Amazon lists is a pretty fair price. I'm finding small 3 DVD sets or single DVDs at local discount stores or at bookstores. I've found 3 DVD set for $6/set. I've found single DVD's for $5. I also really like some of the bonus stories. In total I think I now have 11 Scholastic DVDs.
Another thing I found in buying the single DVD's - there is an old and new version for the Scholastic videos. Some of the stories are grouped differently on the DVDs depending on if you are buying the old or new versions. Just an FYI if you get used to a particular grouping of stories.
Really superb collection of animated storybooks April 25, 2009
W. Morgan (Tennesse)
We purchased this for our kids for Christmas 2008 and it has been a big hit with them (and us). We have read most of the books already and it was fun to see them animated. This box set was a special buy around Christmas and a very good deal - but even at full price you get a huge number of great animated stories which are clean and (often) familiar.
The picture quality ranges from great to 'ok' - but some of the stories have videos which are quite old.
Cute Stories April 24, 2009

Great stories, the kids love them. Wish they were combined on less CD's as they are short stories. That's my only complaint. A wonderful series for kids.
