What Parents Need to Know

About Scholastic Video Collection: Tikki Tikki Tembo

Parents need to know that these animated versions of children's books are about as close to reading as you can get without a book. The stories are simple and sweet, and the animation is nicely done but not overpowering. Families can watch together and can "read" the stories using the "read along" feature on the extras menu.

    Gentle retelling of favorite stories from my childhood. It's fun to share them with my little one. The animation is static, FYI.
