 My Review

This great collection of movies features some of the most memorable Halloween books that our children know and love! My children were especially excited to see that one of their favorite Halloween books that we own, The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything, was inclded in one of the DVDs! This was such a great learning experience for my three year old son and I was shocked at how much he was able to recite from the book after watching the movie. For anyone that has read this book, you will recognize the lines “boo boo” and “shake shake” which is what my son has been shouting for days now! It was such a great feeling to realize my son was making connection in the book and wanting to read it again and again to better understand the story. This collection of Halloween stories is more than just the stories being read, it also includes people on the show encouraging the children to interact and reflect. My seven year old daughter was equally impressed with this collection of DVDs and found excitement in helping her brother to learn the stories! This is overall a great collection and one I highly recommend you add to your children’s family movies!
