not storybook illustration version?
I'm surprised no one mentioned that the Corduroy story is the only one that is not a cartoon. I thought it was very well cast and well presented with real actors in a real department store, but would have preferred the story cartoon version. The story was also changed a bit, thought the plot stayed the same. Otherwise all the other stories are excellent. As a teacher, I love that these storybooks were made into videos!
Grandchildren's favorite
My grandchildren love Corduroy on an old video. They like it better than to read the story, it is so alive for them. It is truly a favorite of theirs along with Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel. We appreciate the scholastic dvd's to watch together after we have read the books over and over.
70's story depictions - charming
Most of these videos are just old 70's book follow-a-longs. If you were around back then you know the kind of slide-style presentations and very simple animation styles we had back then. Very nostalgic. The kids of today may not like it, but I did not purchase this for kids. I wanted a copy of the "Happy Owls" story that is in this DVD, which is a charming story about appreciating life for all the beauty it offers rather than squabbling over the petty daily activities.
It's simple, and dirt cheap. I got far more than I paid for as far as I am concerned, however I have realistic expectations about 70's video because I was around at the time. If you have never seen the animations of the 70's, you may want to research before buying.
