Scholastic Storybook DVD Giveaway
July 15, 2009 by Tracy
Filed under Product Giveaways
I wanted to share with you a fun activity that I have been enjoying with my five year old this summer. Scholastic provided me with some of their new DVD s which are based on their best selling books. I love their books and have been reading them for years with my children, before I even begin reviewing. I didn’t even realize they made DVD s. I thought it would be fun to go and check out the books from the library that were on the DVD and then view the movie of the book. We had a fun time picking out the books and then took them home, read them, and watched the movies. He loved the fact he could watch the movie of the book. I loved that they still scrolled the words of the book across the screen as they told the story on the DVD. His favorite so far is Pete’s A Pizza. It’s a must read and you MUST act it out too! You will have so much fun! The DVD’s are available at most stores including Amazon and www.newkideo.com. They are educational and great for rainy days or the fun activity that I described above. The two I received come in sets and are described below:
The TREASURY OF 25 STORYBOOK CLASSICS: DINOSAURS, TRUCKS, MONSTERS… AND MORE is an action-packed collection, filled with rousing tales of prehistoric creatures, roaring vehicles and daredevil rodents. The 4 DVDs include How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?…and more great dino tales; I Stink!…and more great stories on wheels; Pete’s a Pizza…and more great kids stories; and The Mouse and the Motorcycle. With nearly five hours of entertainment, this adventure-filled collection will fuel kids with excitement and put imaginations into overdrive!
Certain to become a fast viewing favorite with young girls, the TREASURY OF 25 STORYBOOK CLASSICS: FAIRYTALES, MAGIC…AND MORE offers an imaginative and magical collection of stories, from new adaptations of classic tales like James Marshall’s hilarious version of “Cinderella” and “Red Riding Hood” to beloved Hans Christian Anderson stories “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” This set also includes 4 DVDs: The James Marshall Collection, The Hans Christian Anderson Collection, Rapunzel…and more classic fairytales and Strega Nona… and more magical stories.

gosh, this is difficult. my daughters favorite right now is fancy nancy. but you have a boy.
i guess another book she likes right now is the arthur books. that is geared toward both girls and boys.
What a great idea (and good for road trips). One of our new favourites is A Wizard in Love (from Tundra Books). I wrote a quick review on it for #warw:

I’d love to win this for my niece.
I’m subscribed.
we always liked an illustrated peter pan, and when we got older got a more wordy version, worked out good because we already knew the basics of the story and was easier to read
My daughter is reading “Miss Daisy is Crazy” by Dan Gutman and really loves it

This would be awesome for my newest grandchild! Off the top of my head, I honestly can’t think of a book for a 6-year old boy.
My son really liked Harold and the Purple Crayon at that age.
I would definitely suggest “Where the Wild Ones Are” by Maurice Sendak
I subscribe-yeah Me! I can also highly recommend any and all of Dr. Seuss’ books-if your son cannot read them you will love reading them to him
This would be perfect for entertaining “small” company on a rainy day.
I recommend Pirates Don’t Change Diapers!!

I think he would like Where the Wild Things Are.
Start him on the Magic Treehouse books with the advbentures of Jack & Annie. Once he starts reading he can read them himself. My 6yo daughter loves the books.

Fun DVD’s! Grandchild would love them.
