Well received. Best part: when the bedroom turns into a forest. They didn't like the mean kids in "Goggles;" they led to a discussion about bullies. "Stone Soup was hilarious, it made all the kids laugh." Would watch again and re-read the books.
Presents positive themes, whimsical characters and creative learning potential. Brings up issues about walking alone, encountering strangers, running from older children and helping those in need. Encourages kids to think about their own behavior.
Contains three Caldecott classics - "The Amazing Bone," where a young pig finds a talking bone that gives her courage, "Where the Wild Things Are," where Max becomes king, "Goggles," where bullies are outsmarted - and the classic tale, "Stone Soup."
You too can become a film critic!
