This review is from: The Alphabet Train (VHS Tape)

If you are looking for a realistic train video for your young train loving kids, I'd get this one, and believe me, I've tried most all of them! This video is really professionally done, very educational, has great train footage, and really includes a great deal of train information for kids, as well as important safety information. My husband and I both watched it with great interest, and the kids (ages 5 and 2) loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Educatonal Video!, December 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Alphabet Train (VHS Tape)

"The Alphabet Train" is a great video. It uses trains (really neat ones at that) to teach the alphabet ("A" is for "All Aboard", etc.) One neat aspect of the video is that kids learn more than just the alphabet. The video uses trains to show kids things like "over and under" (the train is going OVER the bridge, etc.) and other things. The kids really talk back and interact with the children on the video! This is a great video! END

This review is from: The Alphabet Train (VHS Tape)

I rented this video from the library and now I will be buying it for my two year old. He has watched it nonstop since I brought it home. This is really a great video, not only do the kids the learn the alphabet but they learn all kinds of information about trains. It is well narrated with comments from real children and lots of great information and encouragement from the narator. What I think I like best is there is no sillyness to this video. Perfect for all those little train buffs out there!!!
