Perfect for school commute! January 1, 2009
For those of us commuting to school, these DVDs are perfect. No more extraordinarily loud purple dinosaurs screaming out of my tiny DVD player. My 3 and 1 year olds are completely absorbed by these classic stories, gently and carefully told, without overstimulating cartoons. An added bonus is that I no longer feel guilty about listening to my news stations as they watch these enduring tales. Everyone wins on our long commute to preschool!
Best kind of TV Time for tots! December 29, 2008
My son loves these, and I do too. They reinforce the bedtime books we read by showing the same illustrations and narrations on video in a wonderful way. Our favorites include Harry the Dirty Dog and Click, Clack, Moo, and the Where the wild things also have Carole King singing chicken soup with rice, and others. AWESOME set, and when on sale amazing price too. Each DVD alone is awesome, having the whole set is priceless. My son watches 1 DVD for a whole week before we change it up.
Compare and Contrast December 28, 2008
This Classic edition of well loved stories is a perfect choice for comparing and contrasting with the written story. I'd rather have my grandson watching these than watching mindless TV.
Great set December 21, 2008
I could not say a bad thing about his set. I was luck to get it on sale. No regrets. It sure beats some of the stuff kids are exposed on TV nowadays.
Fun collection for parents and toddlers December 1, 2008

We are very pleased with this set. The titles are both familiar--like ones from Ezra Jack Keats and Robert McCloskey--and new. But the DVDs are all well-done, with excellent music and voice-overs. Some of them, particularly the Antarctic Antics, are hilarious. Some are winsome. None, to quote Chrysanthemum's father, are jaundiced. Our toddler is afraid of _Where the Wild Things Are_ and loves _Chrysanthemum_. We love Ezra Jack Keats' works, and the extra interview with him is fantastic. Overall, for about $45, I think that this set is a steal. The local library uses individual DVDs from this series for movie night!
If I had to pick one favorite out of this whole set, it would be Meryl Streep reading _Chrysanthemum_. She is absolutely perfect. She really 'gets' kids, and she knows, probably from direct experience, how fragile and impressionable children can be. The set is worth it to me to hear her read that one story.
I do not believe that these can help kids learn to read, though. And I would be remiss to advise parents to substitute real reading with these. What we like to do is to read the stories before the DVD and then read an additional story afterward. One more warning...Simms Taback could become your very next favorite author and illustrator. He is very clever, and the colors and collages are bright and stimulating.
