Love this DVD

We love this DVD. Our grandsons spent the weekend with us and just loved the movie. My husband and I watch this movie at least once a year just for the joy. Small toddlers may get scared by some of the scenes. I would keep it to 6 years and older.

The Complete Wreck (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Books 1-13)
Lemony Snicket

HarperCollins, 2006

brilliant

+ My daughter is addicted!
+ Awsome Books!

My children are 7 + 8, a boy and girl, and they absolutely love it (almost as much as I enjoy reading it to them!) I can see it would be thoroughly enjoyable for boys and girls up until the ages of 12 or 13 and perhaps beyond. The stories weave through the terrible circumstances of three siblings ...
