A handful of enchanting stories by Ezra Jack Keats (1916-1983) are beautifully adapted as "moving storybooks" in this treasury of tales beginning with the Caldecott Medal winner, "The Snowy Day." When Peter discovers a pristine world of white outside his window, his wondrous day unfolds with the simple pleasures of sticks, snow-laden trees, and snow angels. Peter appears in six more stories growing from a small boy in "Whistle for Willie" to adolescence in "Pet Show!" In Keats's words, "All that happens in a child's life is meaningful." His stories depict common childhood experiences such as moving and making friends, facing fears, adjusting to a new sibling, and discovering nature. Faithful to the gently paced books, Scholastic's film tribute is narrated by soothing storytellers, and accompanied by flute and guitar instrumentals. Viewers have the option of reading along with words on the screen... and don't miss the bonus featurette, a 1969 interview with the beloved author. (Ages 3 to 7) --Lynn Gibson

Reading The Snowy Day on a snowy day. .......2007-02-21

My grandson, age 3, had been asking and asking and asking for the Snowy Day DVD because the "book" was already one of his favorites. Although we have several DVD's with accompanying books, we didn't have The Snowy Day DVD.
When DVD arrived, it just happened to be a snowy day. Jacob was completely spellbound watching this very special DVD about a boy's experience with snow, while he read along from one of his own favorite books and told me all about the story.

Great stories young and old........2005-08-25

I searched high and low for stories with images that resemble the my child's world. Once I found this video, everyone new about how great they were. They are timeless beautiful stories. My 5 month old baby watches the images. I can't wait until he is older to really enjoy these. I enjoy watching them also. Great find

When I was a child, I loved "Snowy Day," the picture book about Peter, who brings a snowball inside in his coat pocket, and every other Ezra Jack Keats book my parents read to me. Other than "Pet Show" (1992), these were all produced soon after each book was written (1960's -- early '70's) and, I feel, were done very faithfully.
These pieces represent an era when producers didn't have a lot of effects to work with -- just the picture in the book, a narrator (and these narrators are all great), and music -- and couldn't count on licensed character synergies to carry a child's interest. My first video editing assignment ever was to shoot, cut, record, select music for, and edit a children's book. It's not as simple as it might seem. (I set "Where the Wild Things Are" to REM's "Perfect Circle" for the quiet bits of sailing over the sea and such, and something from Hüsker Dü's "Land Speed Record" for the wild rumpus.)
The overall mood of these pieces is very quiet, gentle, thoughtful. "Peter's Chair" would be good for discussing any new siblings that might be arriving in your house.
I believe Loretta Long, the narrator whose voice sparkles in several of these short films, went on to become Susan on Sesame Street.
I am consistently turned off by almost all children's programming. Buy this DVD.

Very Good.......2004-03-18

Some of the reviews have comments about the animation of this DVD. Keep in mind that these stories were books first (with very good illustrations). Children who have grown up with video games may not have the attention span to enjoy these stories.

I especially enjoyed the interview with the author that is included as a bonus.

Very good resource.......2004-02-02

I have used this video/dvd for my first grade classes in the school library after reading the stories to the students first. When presenting the video/dvd stories, I use the captioning option so the students can read along with the stories being presented. I have found that the classes are riveted to the stories, even though they have heard them from the librarian. To children raised in the audio/visual age, these videos/dvds work well. Could they be better and have better animation? Yes, but they are an excellent available resource.

Awesome!!.......2007-01-19

We love the Scholastic Video Collections!! Our first collection included the story "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom". My two year old son doesn't ask to watch a movie or television. He asks for "Boom Boom"! He especially loves the stories that are put to music or song.

The Scholastic Video Collection is a series that every household with babies, toddlers and preschool age children should have. They are good, clean, educational fun.

Welcome Back, Harold...It's Been A While!.......2005-12-12

What a great idea! The books you love from your childhood are here, in DVD format for you to share with your child (or classroom). We use these in our home as pre-bedtime videos on occasion. Our favorite is the "Harold" DVD. You could look these titles up on your own for a full video listing, but I thought I'd help out and make your life a little bit easier. Included titles are as follows:

"Harold and the Purple Crayon": Harold and the Purple Crayon, A Picture for Harold's Room, Harold's Fairy Tale, The Mysterious Tadpole, Drummer Hoff, Smile for Auntie

"Corduroy": Corduroy, Yo! Yes?, Here Comes the Cat, The Rainbabies

"The Snowy Day": The Snowy Day, Whistle for Willie, Peter's Chair, Pet Show!, A Letter to Amy, The Trip, Apt. 3 (Also included in this DVD is "Getting to Know Ezra Jack Keats")

Hope this helps! Sound quality and story flow is great. My 2-year-old just loves these!

Scholastic videos let big folks rest their reading glasses by adapting Caldecott-winning and other worthy kids' books to the small screen, with consistently impressive results. The 11 DVDs in the Scholastic Video Collection Super Set apply catchy music and skillful animation to 65 stories, including beloved children's classics such as Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, Crockett Johnson's Harold stories, and Ezra Jack Keats's stories, as well as newer favorites such as William Steig's Pete's a Pizza, Kevin Henkes's Chrysanthemum, and Peggy Rathmann's Good Night, Gorilla. The Scholastic DVDs double the running time of their VHS counterparts with bonus stories as well as interviews, read-alongs, and English subtitles.

Great for encouraging my young reader.......2006-07-27

My 3 year old son loves to watch these stories. We have some of the books and it helps him to be able to read the actual books to me.

Save your money.......2006-07-15

My children love the DVD of the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle - it is wonderful. We also have the book "Click Clack Moo, Cows That Type" and it is a favorite. I was looking for more educational and interesting "book on DVD" like Caterpillar for our 3 and 5 year olds to watch for our trip home from Florida. I found this collection, and based on the positive reviews, I ordered with second day shipping. I was thrilled when they arrived. We went through the DVDs one by one - and each is only 20 minutes long, as opposed to the normal 1 - 1.5 hours of current DVDs. Also the illustrations were a little primitive... and a couple of the stories were just down right scary, and at one point my 5 year old wanted me to turn it off. One story has a song that goes over and over and over again about a child saying "I don't care..." and you guessed it - for the next 3 days that is all our 3 year old said. We got home a couple of days ago, and I am returning this immediately. I think "Click Clack Moo" is a good DVD, but that 20 minute DVD alone is NOT worth $[...]. Save your money and get the Eric Carle book on DVD and any of the Curious George ones.

Great in the car.......2005-12-19

I love these videos. They are perfect for the car. Instead of watching movies, they are watching books and it reinforces what they learn in school. Great for all ages.

Scholastic rides again!.......2005-09-19

The great thing about this set is that by preschool, the kids are familiar with the stories and they love to have them repeated in a visual manner. These are great to have quiet time with and my kids have even taken them to school for rest time and the teachers love them, as it is merely a book on tape with pictures!

Working with Amazon was extremely easy.
The videos are great, my 2 boys love them!
