The lead story, “Chicka Chicka 123” has been wonderfully adapted from Bill Martin, Jr.’s award-winning and best-selling book, and features animation of Lois Ehlert’s colorful illustrations. When 101 numbers race each other up the apple tree, bad bumblebees come buzzing. Which number will save the day?

The DVD also features three other stories celebrating the fun of numbers: "Emily's First 100 Days of School," "How Much is a Million?" and "If You Made a Million." These adaptations have all been produced by the venerable Weston Woods Studios and have won numerous national awards:
