Editorial Review
Reading is fundamental, and now it’s fun, too! A joint production of Scholastic and Fisher-Price, the Read with Me DVD series reinvents classic children’s stories, animating words and images in an exciting way that encourages story comprehension, reading, and vocabulary skills. Slip in any of the series DVDs and the television transforms into a library. The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper is a classic story of self-esteem and positive thinking, as the little engine says, "I think I can, I think I can." Kids can listen and watch the animated story, or choose to play along using the sturdy wireless console (sold separately). Read & Play brings the animated tale to life--words highlight as the narrator reads along, asking fun questions that encourage story comprehension and vocabulary skills. Story Games offers enjoyable, interactive games and the Parent Guide contains tips for reading aloud. As reading skills develop, My Turn to Read encourages children to read at their own pace without the narrator. With over 100 activities and interactive questions, The Little Engine That Could is sure to please both parents and preschoolers. --Heather Lyndon

Customer Reviews

Great product!
My son received this as a christmas gift, and thoroughly enjoys it. This is not a regular DVD. It is designed to go with the "Read With Me DVD" system (a separate remote control that works with it on your TV). A previous reviewer was not aware of this, so it should not have received a bad review for consumer error.

A Great Addition for Those (Kids) Who Love the Book
My 4 years old kid had a great time with it as he loved it first as 'just' a book.
I do think the upper bracket age of 7 years - as advertised - is somewhat too high

Cute story!
This is a very cute Read with me DVD. I enjoy the images used in the story. My four year old son loves this storyline and has loads of fun with the games he can play.
