Summary: An Old Favorite & Carole King!!
Review: Ages: ANY!! Even wee ones will delight in the story of the months - Chicken Soup with Rice, as well as learn the months of the year at an early age as my son did with this video. Carole King's voice range is PERFECT for all of the Nutshell Library stories - she had my son singing along with her right from the start! Max's story can be a tiny bit scary for the littlest viewer (2 & under), but talking about what the story means with your child makes all the difference. Peter Schikele's presentation of In the Night Kitchen is impressive and brings the story to life. Best video we have EVER purchased!

Summary: Great but incomplete
Review: And mine, too! Very cute, brings back memories from the 25 years since I was a kindergardener. Where the Wild Things Are was little intense at first but my 3 1/2 y-o now thinks its great (and recites all of the lines). Carol Kings compositions are wonderful, and I am thinking about transferring them to a cd for the kids (ok, ok, for me!)Great video, highly recommended!

Summary: Sendak and King are awesome!
Review: How can you not like this dvd? I grew up watching this on VHS till it broke. Now I'll have to buy the DVD. This is simply the best work of both writer/illustrator Maurice Sendak and Carole King (besides her biggest album, Tapestry). Great songs, great stories, great animation. Highly recommended.

Summary: teachers beware!
Review: I did not preview the whole tape before showing in class. The students were shocked and so was I when in the last segment the boy's clothes were off (for about 5-10 seconds). It showed something that I am not sure some parents would appreciate. Preview everything- even if it is from Scholastic and recommended for ages 3 to 8. Trust Me!!

Summary: An Unexpected Delight
Review: I enjoyed this video as much as my three and a half year old grandson, for whom I purchased it. I hastily bought it for a babysitting weekend, and did not realize additional stories were included. The music was great--Carole King a great bonus! We loved it!

Summary: do NOT buy
Review: I gave it 1 star only because I had to in order to rate it. This DVD is just terrible! The Wild Things are ugly and scary and the music makes it worse. In the 2nd story, one of the songs is about manners and shows a spoiled, rotten kid. He straightens up by the end of the song but he's already driven home his "I don't care" message to children watching it. In the last story about the little boy, first he gets naked and then these bakers stir him in some batter with his hand sticking out of the mix and they put him in the oven. If that's not enough, by the end the little boy shows his privates! I looked at the ratings here before I bought it and can't believe this has 4 1/2 stars. Don't be fooled just because it's from Scholastic. I would give this zero stars if I could.

Summary: Simply awful
Review: I was so disappointed in this DVD. I love Maurice Sendak's books, and have lots of fond memories of stories like Pierre from my childhood. We had another Scholastic video (Chicka Boom Boom) that my son loved, so I thought this would be another great addition to our home video library. How wrong I was! Where the Wild Things are is narrated by someone with a really abrasive voice. And the animation is so jerky and choppy that it will give you motion sickness! While I remember the Nutshell Kids stories with fond memories, watching them as an adult horrified me. They certainly aren't the images and ideas I want presented to my children. There wasn't anything redeeming about this video. Save your money.

Summary: Great memories!
Review: I watched this as a child in kindergarten over 20 years ago, I loved it then, and love it now! My 2 year old loves the songs in Nutshell kids. My 6 year old loves the stories. She is thrilled to have a book to go long with the story of the Wild Things.
