Scholastic Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics

The Scholastic Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics includes 16 Favorites from the #1 Award-Winning Children’s DVD Series. Altogether, it’s 881 minutes, over fourteen HOURS of classic children’s stories, with narration and songs by entertainers like James Earl Jones (Why Mosquitos Buzz in People’s Ears), Cyndi Lauper (There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly), and Amy Madigan (Is Your Mama A Llama?). The live-action version of Marjorie Flack’s Angus and the Ducks is a treat. Each story has the read-along option, so they can see the wonderful words they are hearing. The adaptations in this collection represent what I consider to be some of the finest books ever written for children. At the Amazon price of $89.99, the Scholastic Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics gives you quite the bang for your buck! You get the following 16 DVDs:
