My Thoughts
The Caldecott Favorites features over three hours on a 3-DVD Collection for you and your children. Why not, make family time enjoyable while watching classic favorites: The Ugly Duckling, The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge. Each story features the popular read-along option which can aid in teaching your child how to read. My daughter's reading skills have improved tremendously with the read-along feature.
