My 4 year old, loves watching these DVDs, both of them--ghost stories and the like aren't just for Halloween anymore, they are enjoyed all year long. So far he has loved every Scholastic Storybook Treasures: A Read-Along DVD that we have watched. I would definitely recommend these DVDs at any time of the year--classic children's tales+read-along animation is definitely a winner in my book!
