Scholastic wants to help make a very merry Christmas for one lucky Maple Leaf Mommy reader, with four very special gifts!
Scholastic, best know for it’s books, also has a phenomenal line of storybook based DVDs. Scholastic Storybook Treasures feature award winning kids books, classics
and new found favourites, all transformed into fully animated,
professionally narrated DVDs. I’ve reviewed several different volumes in the past,
and been impressed with each one. The animation quality is top notch,
as is the voice acting, which often features celebrity guest narrators.
