Halloween Tales and Other Scholastic Storybook Treasures on DVD for Children

Halloween is, of course, big-time fun for children of all ages, including us grown-ups still much in touch with that inner child (some might say too much, but we like it that way, right?). 
With the holiday of costumes, ghosts, goblins, witches, monsters, and yes, super-hero and other outfits, too, there are wonderful tales out there for kids.  And the Scholastic Storybook Treasures series of books on DVD series has released The Halloween Stories Collection. 
With readings by the Elle Fanning and Calista Flockhart, the tales here include "A Very Brave Witch," "By the Light of the Halloween Moon," "The Teacher From the Black Lagoon," "The Witch in the Cherry Tree," Maurice Sendak's classics "Where the Wild Things Are," and "In the Night Kitchen" and other delightful tales, none of which are really scary at all for little one. It's more about oohs and aaahs. 
And looking ahead to holiday gifts for children beyond toys, sets such Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics and the new Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics 2 make for wonderful compliments to those beloved books that have now spanned generations. Other recent collections include Adventures At School (""Crazy Hair Day," "How Do Dinosaurs Go To School?") and the silly play of Five Little Monkeys (jumping on a bed, of course), which is also a sign language DVD. 
For families taking a holiday road trip with toddlers, the Sing-Along Travel Kit - The Wheels on the Bus - is just the thing to keep that small one or small ones occupied. The special set includes 15 stories on two DVDs, a 13 song CD, 34-page activity book, crayons and also travel tips for parents.
