5.0 out of 5 stars My 2 year old loves it!, January 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: American Trains-America By Rail-the Heartland (DVD)

At times, my son will want to watch the entire 2 hour length of the video. Nothing scary about this video, though at times, it almost puts the 2-year-old's parents to sleep!
