Can I be perfectly honest with you? It’s just you and me here, right?
While I adore the theory and concept behind the Scholastic Storybook Treasures DVD series, all of us here at OWTK HQ have grown very tired of them arriving at our door featuring the same old stories repackaged again and again and again. We don’t crave retreads, we want to see new books, modern greats, given the Storybook Treasures treatment.
As luck would have it, that’s exactly what recently showed up! One of our fave contemporary early reader chapter books, Bink and Gollie
The Bink & Gollie and more stories about friendship
As I mentioned in my Netflixaggedon reaction piece on Philly Kids Thing this week, it’s comforting to own your media, because a world of only streaming video is a scary place we cannot control. I recommended, holistically, the Scholastic Storybook Treasures DVDs and would definitely add this new Bink & Gollie titled title to my list of must-own DVDs for your kids to enjoy without the fear of a great puppet master yanking a string and taking away something your children hold dear.
And buy the books too, or get them from your library, because two more Bink & Gollie books have been released since the first that is featured here. And they are terrific.
*OWTK received a copy of the DVD for review consideration. The opinions expressed above are honest and unbiased as always.
