Used copies are pretty expensive, but are available: http://www.amazon.com/Simon-chalk-drawin…<br /><br />Also, I discovered that a new DVD came out in 2006 from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation called "Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings: The Little Tornado" and has these episodes: Calendar chaos -- The lonely snake -- The little tornado -- Simon and the snowman -- The tac toe-- The carnival-- The magician -- Mask-erade. I'm trying to see if this is available for order anywhere -- it is in PAL format, though, not the NTSC needed for those in the US. ***HERE is where you can order it, if you are so inclined: http://www.dvdvideo.co.nz/shop/product_i… Remember, you'll probably have to have it converted to NTSC format (you can find freeware online to do this), but it MAY play on a DVD-ROM player on your computer without having to be converted. Also, some sellers on ebay have this, too: http://search.ebay.com/simon-in-the-land…MaggieC (Silvercrafter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13560733295194874288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173575991771834142.post-52211961973922692562011-11-03T19:21:20.300+02:002011-11-03T19:21:20.300+02:00I think this readathon was tough for a lot of peop...I think this readathon was tough for a lot of people with the timing of Halloween and just otherwise being busy. Don't worry about it too much! :)Amanda @ On a Book Benderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975515860710635598noreply@blogger.com
