4 year lod twins love this .......2007-08-14

My twins who are 4 years old love this dvd. It is indeed only slightly scary and just perfect for them. They have so much fun watching it and will discuss it and make up stories including the charters in the dvd when it is over. This is wonderful for their imagination.They go on binges and will want to watch this over and over for maybe 3 days in a row then forget it for two or three weeks then want to watch it again for 3 days in a row.

My 4 year old loves it.......2007-07-04

The stories are slightly scarey. Nothing actually bad happens to any of the characters. There are some creepy images (eg, fence and beds made out of bones), but good always prevails. Will be especially loved around Halloween.

Just Too Much for the Youngest Set - a review of Teacher ex the Black Lagoon.......2005-06-28

This is a scary Scholastic. Too scary for my 3 and 5 year-olds. Having gotten it at the library (which we do before purchasing) we didn't even watch it through once before returning it.

The principle problem is the biting off of heads and other body parts. Perhaps funny from an older kid point of view, it is just too weird and inappropriate, imho, for younger children who won't see the humor.

For an indepth understanding of the story, check out the reviews of the book.
