    Scholastic Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics

    November 4, 2009 By

    Scholastic 100 ClassicsThe 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:

    Where the Wild Things Are… and other Maurice Sendak Stories
    Harry the Dirty Dog… and more terrific tails
    Curious George Rides a Bike… and more tales of mischief
    Good Night, Gorilla… and more bedtime stories
    Chrysanthemum… and more Kevin Henkes stories
    Chicka Chicka Boom Boom… and lots more learning fun!
    Harold and the Purple Crayon… and more Harold Stories
    Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type… and more fun on the farm
    There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly… and more stories that sing
    Make Way for Ducklings… and more Robert McCloskey Stories
    Corduroy… and more stories about friendship
    Strega Nona… and more Caldecott Award-winning folk tales
    The Snowy Day… and more Ezra Jack Keats stories
    Is Your Mama a Llama?… and more stories about growing up
    The Teacher from the Black Lagoon… and more slightly scary stories
    Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People s Ears… and more stories from Africa

    Each of the 16 DVDs is packaged in a “Thinkpak” that eliminates excess bulk, the entire boxed set is about as wide as a few paperbacks.  This would make a terrific gift for a family, a teacher, a caregiver, or yourself. Visit the Scholastic Store for more DVDs, books, and other gift ideas!
