My Thoughts:
If you are a fan of Stellaluna then this DVD will soon become a family favorite. Watch the book come to life and delight your children. My 3 year old loves to watch Stellaluna. Who would not love the story of a sweet baby fruit bat trying to fit in? The story is timeless and can be used to teach so many lessons and values to your child. The film was well done and stayed true to the story line. Think about watching with Stellaluna with your child and learn about fruit bats, individuality, family and love. Don’t forget the activity book! My daughter loved coloring pictures of Stellaluna while watching the movie.
