New Kideo, Scholastic Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics and The Night Before Christmas: Special Edition DVDs Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

 If I asked you to list some of your favorite childhood books, books that you loved and  now share with your child.  Timeless classics that delight generation after generation of children.  Well, I bet more than a few of your favorite books are in the Scholastic Storybook Treasures DVD Set.  This great set includes 100 award-winning faithfully adapted Storybook Classics that are brought to life in this comprehensive 16 DVD collection.  From the Maurice Sendak Classic Where the Wild Things Are, to the beloved adventures of Curious George and Corduroy, parents and children alike are sure to enjoy these classic treasures, featuring celebrity narration from Sarah Jessica Parker, Meryl Streep, James Earl Jones, and many more!

I was sent this terrific set to review and I have to tell you they brought back wonderful memories because with my older kids we belonged to some club, I can’t remember what is was called though I can clearly see the hard white plastic VHS cases they came in.  My older kids loved seeing Corduroy, Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Snowy Day, Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel, Drummer Hoff, Whistle for Willie, No Roses For Harry and so many more.  Well, they were just as big of a hit with my 2-year-old and 4-year-old.  They wanted to watch Curious George first and then move on to How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?  What a great way for us to sit together and see a story that I have read to them over and over again come to life.  If you are looking for great wholesome, quality entertainment for your child you should definitely check out this DVD set.
