Gently Moving Pictures Just Right For Young Children.......2007-04-25

Classic stories told with "gently moving pictures and audio". None of the fast editing and loud noises so common in children's DVDs. My four year old daughter really enjoys this one and requests it often.

Tikki Tikki Tembo.......2006-05-03

I love this book when I was a child so long ago, but I saw this book and I screamed thinking that was one of my favorite stories when I was a child, my daughters love this story it is a great book for all ages to read, because alot of people named their children long names so all can relate to the story.

Tikki Tikki Tembo...and More Favorite Tales.......2005-10-24

Both of my pre-school children love this video. It is a great one to watch after bath time while we put on pajamas and comb out hair. They love the action and adventure of the story. My kids especially love the story of Cinderella Penguin.
All in all, my kids and I love all the Scholastic Videos. They are well done, and give the kids a love for stories and literature.
