I am very thankful for such educating and entertaining places such as Scholastic who provide many fun and heart~warming stories for children. I am very impressed with their video series and the children and I absolutely adored Stellaluna and her adventures on finding herself.
The message portrayed in this video is about finding oneself in a world where you don't quite fit. Stellaluna's tale is endearing and charming to watch and the music is just wonderful to listen to as well.
I loved the graphics, they were colourful and enriching and added a perfect blend to the overall story being shared. My young people fell completely in love with Stellaluna and were so happy to see that everything works out for her in the end. Great story that I am sure you young folks will thoroughly enjoy~!!

With the decline of the bat population it's so important that our children not fear this amazing bug eater! This movie is perfect for encouraging our children/grandchildren to like bats! Great review.
