Kids liked the VHS version of this program so much that many parents call to tell us that they need to order another one because the child has worn the first copy out!

Worth the price for a long drive.......2007-06-03

My 4 1/2 year old son had a long car ride and this was one of the DVDs he asked to see over and over again. Its good for this age group and for those kids who love trains. The aphabet part is nice as well, never hurts to sneak a little education in at the same time.

My son loves this movie.......2007-03-25

I bought the video tape version of this movie because my 3 year-old son loves trains. He absolutely loves this movie! He has learned to say his ABC's and recognize a lot of his letters. He has learned a great deal about trains and we have discussed such words as "danger" and "gauge". He now looks for railroad crossing signs everywhere we go and can tell you how to be safe around trains. He can also tell you the difference between a steam and diesel engine and identify the correct train just by looking at them. It is very educational on lots of levels.
The only negative thing I can say about it is that the video is not of very good quality--it is "jumpy" and I can't correct it with tracking. I am now buying the DVD because my son loves the movie so much and I am hoping the digital quality will make it better to watch.

Great! Educational!.......2007-02-23

My two year old son loves this video. He can sing the alphabet song now. He wasn't even interested before he watched this video. I have even learned a lot and I enjoy watching the video too!

Real Trains for Little People.......2006-02-25

If you are sick of Thomas videos, this is a great video for your Young train enthusiasts. My 3 year-old twin sons have learned quite a bit of train jargon from this. It is slow but great for long car rides in the DVD player (if you can stand the narrator's voice). Instead of saying "put the trains together, Mommy", my son says "Couple the freight car to the engine" - no joke! It is informative and a break from other train videos.

Boring, Boring, Boring!.......2005-10-24

My 3 year old loves trains & trucks and was bored by this DVD. He is learning his ABC's and I'd hoped this DVD would help him. It did not. My 6, 8 & 9 year olds know their ABC's and they thought the DVD was boring. It seems of interest only to model train enthusiasts in need of remedial training. For kids, this purchase was a waste of money.
