Summary: A Surprise Hit with 5 and 3 year olds
Review: We were given this DVD as a gift, and on first glance I thought it was no good. Many of the stories are told with a sort of film-strip of illustrations. But on watching, my kids are ENTRANCED. The readers are fantastic, they are reading the full (and literary, compared to most children's fare) text, there is charming background music, and some of the pieces are actually animated, but very gently. While the stories are gentle compared to all the bad guys, action and mother-losing in other kids movies, they're actually quite subversive, silly and real for young kids. It's their favorite and I'm DYING for Family Home Entertainment to produce a similar piece with Rudyard Kipling stories.
