Fifty preschool favorites in one terrific set!

I am super, super excited to tell you about Scholastic’s newest Storybook Treasures release: My Very First Treasury of 50 Storybook Classics: Preschool Stories!

Finally, in one box set (on 7 DVDs), fifty of the most beloved storybook classics for children of preschool age, brought to life with spectacular animation and celebrity narration as only Scholastic films can do! We have been thoroughly enjoying going through each volume within this set! Our favorites are Knuffle Bunny, Harold and the Purple Crayon, and The Snowy Day.

Here is a blurb about the set:

“The Scholastic Storybook Treasures series “gives viewers a new way to look at books,” says Scripps Howard News Service. And from the wild imagination of Harold and the Purple Crayon and the bouncy There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly to Mo Willems’ new classic Knuffle Bunny, the 50 beloved, best-selling children’s book adaptations in MY VERY FIRST TREASURY offer more than eight hours of quality children’s entertainment, colorfully whimsically animated and kid-tested. Librarians and teachers around the country have long been using these very same productions, created by Weston Woods Studios with authors and illustrators, to enhance their students’ pre-reading experiences. And this new compilation collects the best stories that are perfectly targeted to preschool children who can already read picture books, or are just learning about letters and words.”

“MY VERY FIRST TREASURY OF 50 STORYBOOK CLASSICS includes the following DVDs, which each includes several stories, with more than an hour of fun on each one:”

* CORDUROY…AND MORE STORIES ABOUT FRIENDSHIP
* GOOD NIGHT, GORILLA…AND MORE GREAT SLEEPYTIME STORIES
* HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON…AND MORE STORIES TO SPARK YOUR IMAGINATION
* IS YOUR MAMA A LLAMA… AND MORE CLASSIC CHILDREN’S STORIES
* KNUFFLE BUNNY…AND MORE GREAT CHILDHOOD ADVENTURE STORIES
* THE EZRA JACK KEATS COLLECTION
* THERE WAS AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY…AND MORE SING-ALONG FAVORITES

You can purchase this wonderful set for your own family (or as a welcome gift) for $49.95. For this price, you get over 8 hours of enriching entertainment, beautiful accompanying music and stories brought to life before your child’s very eyes. Scholastic films aren’t just simple additions to your DVD collection….they are timeless heirlooms.

Win it! I am happy to tell you that, courtesy of New Video, I have one set of Scholastic’s Treasury of 50 Storybook Classics: Preschool Stories for one of you! All you need to do is hop over to their online store and browse around at their wide myriad of available titles. Come back here and, in one comment, tell me another DVD title from their collection that your children and family would enjoy! I’ll close the contest next Thursday, April 9th, 2009 at 11pm EST. Sorry; US entries only. Good luck!

Harry the Dirty Dog… and more playful puppy stories.

Sounds entertaining.

James Marshall’s Cinderella…and more beloved fairy tales

I’ve always loved fairy tales and would like to share them with the kids.

I’m not sure about my kids but I would enjoy watching the DVD set that contains Where the Wild Things Are as that was one of my favorite books growing up.

Where The Wild Things Are………my boys 13 and 12 loved Where The Wild Things Are. We even went to the musuem in Atlanta to see the exhibit. Now I have another son that would enjoy having his big brothers read Where The Wild Things Are to him!!!!

My little boy would love the Chicka Chicka DVD set.

Definitely Make Way for Ducklings!

We would love Wheels On The Bus. Rylee loves the song.

We love Diary of a Spider! The Mouse and the Motorcycle would probably be a hit around here too.

My family would love How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight! THanks for the great giveaway

i like the cinderella collection of fairy tales. sounds cute, and gets back to the original stories, not the disney version.

I love that Courdory bear. So cute!

It’s a toss up between the mouse and the motorcycle (one of MY childhood favorites) and where the wild things are (one of my HUBBY’S childhood favorites) LOL…but our kids would love any of them! Thanks for the contest!

We are huge Curious George fans here, so we’d love the “Curious George Rides a Bike…and a lot more monkeying around”!

There are so many of my son’s favorites but I know he would love the scholastics DVD 3 pack #7. He already gets a kick out of Giggle Giggle Quack and loves reading Tikki Tikki Tembo. He hasn’t read Make way for the Ducklings but I enjoyed it as a kid and I’m sure he would too

My daughter LOVES the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom book!

Chicka Chicka DVD set for sure!

Aside from the preschool collection, my 4 year old son would love “The Night Before Christmas and More Holiday Tales”. He LOVES anything Christmas related and is already writing letters to Santa!

Without a doubt my kiddos would love Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, it is one of the books they request everyday.. Thanks for this wonderful giveaway.

Oh, so many to choose from. I will have to choose Chicka Chicka DVD set. I have so many of these books due to the fact that I go to PBS training every year and we get lots of books.

“Bear Snores On” DVD set would be pretty awesome too!

We’d love to own “Day Jimmy’s Boa Ate The Wash, The…and more back-to-school stories” Thanks!

We recently checked out Bear Snores On from the library and my 2 1/2-year-old really liked the book, so I think she would get a kick out of the DVD too! Thanks!

We would love Where the Wild Things Are.

Since I’ve read Where the Wild things Are every night this week- I’m going to go with that one- although Knuffle Bunny would be a close second!

I would love to check out “Bear Snores On…and More “Beary” Adorable Tales.” Thanks!
