Review: I'm always struggling to find great childrens programming. You typically get stuck with something in appropriate on Cartoon Network or mindless on Nick. We like to give the kids PBS, but they want some variety sometimes. This new DVD set from scholastic is a great answer.
The set includes 8 great Rosemary Wells children's stories. They are not only fun, but they have great lessons on life for the kids. The narration is entertaining and its a great way to spend some time with the kids, or to just let them sit and enjoy something that isn't bad for them! I definately recommend this set for anyone that has a child ages 2 or older.
Interest Range: Scholastic, Kids Cartoons, Books
