Night of the Dog

Scholastic videos let big folks rest their reading glasses by adapting Caldecott-winning and other worthy kids' books to the small screen, with consistently impressive results. The 11 DVDs in the Scholastic Video Collection Super Set apply catchy music and skillful animation to 65 stories, including beloved children's classics such as Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, Crockett Johnson's Harold stories, and Ezra Jack Keats's stories, as well as newer favorites such as William Steig's Pete's a Pizza, Kevin Henkes's Chrysanthemum, and Peggy Rathmann's Good Night, Gorilla. The Scholastic DVDs double the running time of their VHS counterparts with bonus stories as well as interviews, read-alongs, and English subtitles.
