The newest one, to be released March 31 is&nbsp;a collection of stories on DVD created especially for children ages 2 to 6. <em>MY VERY FIRST TREASURY OF 50 STORYBOOK CLASSICS: PRESCHOOL STORIES<\/em> features many all-time children\u2019s classics, faithfully adapted and brought to rich, entertaining life in a brand-new 7-DVD set. Celebrity narrators (Mia Farrow, Anthony Edwards, the Bacon Brothers and others) and peerless production values combine to create a high value, long-lasting experience for young viewers. <\/p>\n<p>The Scholastic Storybook Treasures series \u201cgives viewers a new way to look at books,\u201d says Scripps Howard News Service. And from the wild imagination of HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON and the sing-along favorite THERE WAS AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY to Mo Willems\u2019 new classic KNUFFLE BUNNY, the 50 beloved, best-selling children\u2019s book adaptations in MY VERY FIRST TREASURY OF 50 STORYBOOK CLASSICS offer more than seven hours of quality children\u2019s entertainment, colorfully whimsically animated and kid-tested. Librarians and teachers around the country have long been using these very same productions, created by Weston Woods Studios with authors and illustrators, to enhance their students\u2019 pre-reading experiences. And this new compilation collects the best stories that are perfectly targeted to preschool children who can already read picture books, or are just learning about letters and words.<\/p>\n<p>MY VERY FIRST TREASURY OF 50 STORYBOOK CLASSICS includes the following DVDs, each of which includes several stories, with more than an hour of fun on each one:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 CORDUROY\u2026AND MORE STORIES ABOUT CARING<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 GOOD NIGHT, GORILLA\u2026AND MORE GREAT SLEEPYTIME STORIES<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON\u2026AND MORE GREAT STORIES TO SPARK THE IMAGINATION<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 IS YOUR MAMA A LLAMA\u2026AND MORE CLASSIC CHILDREN\u2019S STORIES (New! \u2013 also available separately)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 KNUFFLE BUNNY\u2026AND MORE GREAT CHILDHOOD ADVENTURE STORIES<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 THE EZRA JACK KEATS COLLECTION (New! \u2013 also available separately)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 THERE WAS AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY\u2026AND MORE SING-ALONG FAVORITES (New! \u2013 also available separately)<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the aforementioned headliners, some of the wonderful adaptations featured in the set include William Steig\u2019s \u201cBrave Irene\u201d, \u201cMike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel,\u201d based on Virginia Lee Burton\u2019s 1939 classic, Rosemary Wells\u2019 \u201cNosy Nora\u201d, Ezra Jack Keats\u2019 \u201cThe Snowy Day,\u201d The boisterous \u201cZin!
