5.0 out of 5 stars Gingham Dog & Calico Cat, February 7, 2000

My son, who will be 5 in a couple of months, just LOVES this video. We checked it out from the library last week & he's about worn it out from watching it so much, so we're buying it for him.

It's a nice story about love and cooperation. He's also SO into Christmas, so I'm sure that's also a plus for him. We're always looking for nice, gentle stories - and this is one.

What a disappointment from Rabbit Ears, usually the purveyors of stellar children's entertainment! This video was condescending, boring, bombastic, and, in some places, the illustrations didn't even match the story. My four- and six-year-olds hated it, and asked to turn it off.

3.0 out of 5 stars great story, awful sound quality, August 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gingham Dog & The Calico Cat [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The story is lovely, but the sound quality on this video is atrocious. Three adults and a child all watched it at two different homes (different equipment) and all agreed: what's wrong with the SOUND? Be prepared to narrate what's happening FOR your child, who won't hear it all. It's a calm, relaxing video using stills of the book's illustrations and Grant's voice-over narration that you can't understand. If you're WILLING to narrate it youself, it has a good message about cooperation and living with love.
