A mammoth collection of animal and nature tales!

By megret | November 20, 2008 at 6:44 am | 131 comments | For the Kids, Media

Scholastic’s multi-DVD sets are the best. The folks at Scholastic are the finest at combining similar-themed tales into one fun pack! Their Storybook Treasures collection is gaining awards left and right (the Gold Award from NAPPA and the Parent’s Choice Award most recently). This new Treasury of 20 Storybook Classics is no exception when it comes to quality — and the overall “theme” is animals — cute and cuddly critters! (Well, spiders are in here, too. Those aren’t exactly cute and cuddly, but they are critters.)

This smart-priced pack of best-loved favorites include adaptations from newer titles as well as long-ago loved classics that even I remember reading (and watching on filmstrip!) as a child. With all other Scholastic stories on DVD, these aren’t mean to replace reading by any means, but instead to augment it. When a child knows a book by heart, back and forth, and upside down, watching it spring into life, animated on screen gives the tale a whole new meaning and value.

All of these story titles have collectively won over 35 awards. The four discs included are:

- Bear Snores On….and More ‘Beary’ Adorable Tales
- Diary of a Spider….and More Cute Critter Stories
- The Mouse and the Motorcycle (a full-feature, live action tale)
- He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands….and More Stories to Celebrate the Environment

Over 4 hours of stories coming to life — and only $29.95 MSRP. These are available at Amazon and most major media retailers.

Win it! Scholastic has generously offered two of these box sets to giveaway! All you need to do is leave me a comment telling me who’d you love to win this for! I’ll close the contest at 11pm EST next Friday, November 28th, 2008 and announce the winners the next day. US entries only. Good luck!
