Scholastic dips into its treasure trove of classic and modern Halloween fables for this collection. The result is eight lively animated tales—from the title story, in which astute viewers will chuckle at Munch’s “Scream” coming to life, to “The Three-Legged Cat,” in which a case of mistaken identity will elicit howls from younger crowds.
Shelf Talk: New Video has a Parents’ Choice Awards Web page at www.newkideo.com/ParentsChoice.php and is promoting the release through parenting magazines and several key blogs. There also are displays at Stop & Shop supermarkets.
