Stellaluna DVD
Scholastic
Release date 2/21/12
Synopsis: When the adorable young fruit bat Stellaluna is separated from her mother, she’s adopted by a family of birds. Soon, however, she discovers finds that she just can’t fit in. Her playmates like to sleep at night; she wants to fly. They whistle and sing; she doesn’t even have a beak! But just when it seems like Stellaluna will always be an outsider, she makes an amazing discovery that’ll help her to cherish the things that make her different. And, she’ll also discover that an open mind and an open heart can lead to the greatest gifts of all.
Stellaluna is a book that I have read to my children countless times. The teens still remember it fondly.
Like other Scholastic DVDs, this one perfectly captures the spirit of the book. The animation is beautiful and goes right along with the illustrations in the original book. Parts of it are done as a read along, so kids can follow along with the text at the bottom of the screen while they watch and listen to the video. They have also added in some music that further enhances the message of the story.
The book and characters are cute and teach valuable lessons about friendship, kindness and respecting individuality. Kids learn from the birds, bats and other living things without feeling like they are being lectured. Stellaluna just feels like good entertainment and the lessons learned are a good bonus.
The DVD includes a nice Scholastic activity booklet with coloring pages and games.
WHERE TO BUY - The dvd is available on Amazon.
