Fisher-Price Read With Me - The Little Engine That Could
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. <i>The Little Engine That Could</i> 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, <i>The Little Engine That Could</i> is sure to please both parents and preschoolers. <i>--Heather Lyndon</i>
