Summary: Moons, Hats and Bedtime
Review: A wonderful collection of animated tales based on popular children's books. I bought this one because Good-Night Gorilla and The Napping House are favorites at home.In Good-Night Gorilla a small gorilla manages to sneak out of the zoo and takes the other animals with him to the zookeeper's house. Very true to the original book. In How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight, we learn that they do not fuss and fume and neither should you. Very interestingly done as the story moves from house to house. Happy Birthday Moon is about a little bear who decides the Moon must have a birthday and sets out celebrate. A charming story. The Napping House is creatively done with stills to show a house where everyone is sleeping and what happens when an awake flea comes by. Patrick is a wonderful wordless story of a boy/man who buys a fiddle and fills the world with wonder and color. The Paperboy tells the story of a small boy and how he runs his paper route when the rest of the world is sleeping. Illustrated with sequential stills to simulate movement. The Hat is the story of a penniless veteran who comes across a marvelous hat that changes his fortunes around.

Summary: Great buy for the money
Review: Bedtime is a difficult time at my house. My 2 year old does not need to sleep. I purchased this hoping that it had bedtime stories on it that would keep his attention but put him to sleep. It is wonderful. Aside from hte wonderful selction of books, the stories are narrated by gentle voices and there is soft lullabye type music in the background. It has been a real tool in helping our child fall asleep.

Summary: GREAT Winding Down Stories (1 Exception)
Review: GREAT winding down for bed DVD. The VHS started to show its playing time so we purchased the DVD which has some very good additions. "Happy Birthday Moon" is one of the most charming simple young children's movies I have ever seen or read. "The Paperboy" is my favorite. My 3-year-old son seems to like "Patrick" even though I always play The Paperboy first. The one exception is entitled "The Hat" which does not seem to fit with the other movies innocent charm. "The Hat" contains smoking (a cigar) and guns. Again, it is just not appropriate. They could have easily found another story... Anyway, most are great pre-bed movies. I hope this helps.

Summary: Good Night Gorilla
Review: My 2 1/2 yr old son and 3 1/2 yr. old daughter love this dvd. My daughter loves the gorilla and although the hyenna tends to look like a bear, this dvd does the book well and gets its giggles. The other stories are winners too, my son loves How Dinosaurs say Good Night. I recommend this one and if you dont have Where the Wild Things Are, I recommend that one as well.

Summary: GOOD NIGHT GORILLA & MORE BEDTIME STORIES
Review: THIS DVD IS AMAZING FOR GETTING YOUNG ONES TO SETTLE DOWN AND GET READY FOR BEDTIME. EACH STORY HAS A VERY SOOTHING AND CALMING EFFECT,NOT TO MENTION EACH STORY IS EDUCATIONAL AND COLORFUL. THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I FOUND WITH THIS DVD IS THE LAST STORY. THE NAME OF THE STORY IS THE HAT. IT IS TOO GRAPHIC FOR ANY CHILD. THERE IS A SCENE WHERE SOLDIERS ARE KILLING EACH OTHER,NOT WHAT I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO REMEMBER AS SHES DRIFTING OFF TO SLEEP.
