5/5 - (1 vote)

Just in time for Easter, bunnies and chicks take over in The Springtime Collection Featuring Max's Chocolate Chicken, a new 3-disc collection from Scholastic Storybook Treasures - perfect for holiday gift giving.

Thirteen award-winning stories are featured on three discs, headlined by Rosemary Wells' delightful Easter-themed tale "Max's Chocolate Chicken".  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed The Springtime Collection 3-DVD Set from Scholastic which retails for $24.95.

Kids are sure to grin from ear to ear as the fun-loving bunnies Max and Ruby - who can currently be seen on Nick Jr. - hunt for Easter eggs with hilarious results, or as a crazy-eyed chicken and all his panicked friends try to run away from a falling sky in Ed Emberley's and Rebecca Emberley's delightful "Chicken Little".

Families can also learn a fun baking recipe for splendid cake with "The Red Hen".  Featuring Scholastic's innovative Read-Along captioning, celebrity narration including Lily Tomlin, Randy Travis, Michael McKean and more, and an Easter basket-full of bonuses including interviews with Rosemary Wells and Ed Emberley and Rebecca Emberley, The Springtime Collection blossoms with fun!

The three DVDs included are:

  • Max's Chocolate Chicken...and More Stories by Rosemary Wells - also includes "Max's Christmas", "Morris's Disappearing Bag", "Otto Runs for President", "Max's Christmas - Spanish Version".
  • The Red Hen...and More Cooking Stories - also includes "Bread Comes to Life", "How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?", and "Arnie the Doughnut".
  • Chicken Little...and More Zany Animal Stories - also includes "The Great White Man-Eating Shark", "The Three-Legged Cat", and "Dooby Dooby Moo".

Bonus Features:

  • Read-along captioning
  • Easy-to-follow recipe for how to bake your own splendid cake
  • Interview with Otto Runs for President Author/Illustrator Rosemary Wells
  • A visit from Rosemary Wells
  • Interview with Chicken Little Author/Illustrators Rebecca Emberley and Ed Emberley
