Back to School with Scholastic! (Review + Giveaway)

By megret | August 24, 2010 at 10:38 pm | 118 comments | Educational, For the Kids, Media

Just in time for the school bell’s ring, Scholastic Storybook Treasures adds another winning DVD set to its already stellar lineup. Scholastic’s Adventures at School 3-Pack DVD Set houses fourteen tales in one handy case. Each story is narrated and beautifully illustrated/animated in the classic Scholastic Storybook Treasures way you’ve come to know and love.

Kids will laugh along with “Crazy Hair Day,” a story by Barney Saltzberg (and narrated by the comically acclaimed Zach Braff) all about a kid (or is it a porcupine?) who gets Crazy Hair Day and Picture Day confused on the school calendar. There is also the very entertaining and silly “How Do Dinosaurs Go to School?” by Jane Yolen, one of our kids’ personal favorite tales.

The other two DVDs in this 3-pack include The Teacher from the Black Lagoon…and more school stories (that are slightly “scary”) and Miss Nelson Has a Field Day…and more schooltime stories. Everyone in my generation remembers and loves the Miss Nelson series — it’s so fun watching these beloved books be brought to life on screen!

The DVD set as a whole dishes out hours of educational entertainment, and boasts other notable narrators such as Calista Flockhart and Alexander Gould. Perfect for the school library, school teacher, or the little back-to-school enthusiasts, Scholastic’s Adventures at School DVD Set deserves an A+. (Order it for $24.95, using the code “MUSEREVIEWS” at checkout for 10% off your total, as always!)

    I would love to give it to my niece. Her worthless mother (sorry for the rant) just deserted her and my nephew is having to raise her alone. Thanks.
