| ♥♥♥♥♥ | 5 stars minus 1 for a single gripe |
| This collection of stories is absolutely wonderful, except for...'How do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight' is unnecessarily scary for little ones. The music is dark and menacing at times, and the dinosaurs are a bit too threatening. The 'demanding a piggyback ride' episode looks like the dinosaur is attacking the mother and she actually screams! My [...] still wants to watch it, but can only tolerate it while clinging to me for reassurance. I would have preferred more whimsical music and childlike dinosaur behavior, but older kids will probably like their dinosaurs with some teeth. That said, it is well done visually and the narration by Jane Yolen is excellent. It's a fun story.
Now that's done, and here are my thoughts on the many many other good things about this DVD: My son loves every story and asks for each one repeatedly. I can and do watch them over and over again without getting sick of them, and I have my favorites as well (The Hat and Patrick). Goodnight Gorilla: Actually works better as an animation than a book (just my opinion). Simply charming. Happy Birthday Moon: Although I don't really love this one, my son really does and that's all that counts after all. The Napping House: I didn't think my son would like this one, but he loves it. I love it too. Very soothing, simple and sweet. The Paper Boy: Magical! The animation is beautiful and the musical score soars with grace and feeling. Forest Whittaker's narration is understated and brilliant. Patrick: Just Music and animation, but a great story full of joy. The music is brilliant and the animation visually exciting. Love it! The Hat: A wonderful story full of wit and humor. A magical hat, a good man down on his luck, heroic deeds rewarded, and a happy ending. My favorite! |
