Caldecott Collection: Vol. IV
These Caldecott classics, whether shown individually or independently, should find a home in most elementary school collections, thanks to their memorable art and appealing narratives.—Anne Bozievich, Friendship Elementary School, Glen Rock, PA
Her Right Foot
This is a nicely timed, evocative examination of a national icon, and a reminder of the principles for which she stands.
Stories for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
This is an exceptional DVD that would be a valuable addition to school collections year-round.
Ghosts of Our Forest
This is a fascinating look into a unique society and would lead naturally into stimulating classroom debates. However, the occasional footage of bare-breasted women might make some students uncomfortable, which makes its use in a public school setting problematic and more suitable at a college level.
School's First Day of School
This DVD will strike a chord with anyone facing a new experience. Its gentle humor and warm tones are reassuring and smile-tugging. Teachers will enjoy using it to lead discussion on adapting to new situations and the concept of personification.
Score: A Film Music Documentary
While this selection's length makes it problematic for school use (and the fine print includes a warning against unauthorized exhibition), cinephiles will thoroughly enjoy it. More suitable for public library collections.
Leo: A Ghost Story
This exceptional production deals with friendship, belonging, and courage and will reach even the youngest audience. An excellent addition to any collection.
Freedom over Me: Eleven Slaves, Their Lives and Dreams Brought To Life
This is an exceptional work that merits a place in all collections.
Joe's Violin
This is a tender story of perseverance, hope, and music that will strike a resonant chord in the hearts of viewers. Music teachers should show this to their classes so students can gain a greater understanding of the how music and history can intertwine.
