5.0 out of 5 stars Information and Gentle Humor, July 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Let's Go To The Farm: Visit the Bessette family farm in winter, spring, summer and fall [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is the best of good children's entertainment. Mac Parker serves up good information, gentle humor, and a true love of storytelling, which combine to make an enjoyable, nonviolent movie. My two year old twins watch this movie at least once a day. When boredom sets in, I'm bound to be accosted with two little people clamoring "Farm movie! Farm movie!" I'm comfortable letting them watch it as many times as they like, even though I don't normally allow them to watch television. "Let's Go To the Farm" is so engaging, I don't even mind watching it myself. This film is a must have for rural and urban children alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best. Buy it!, October 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Let's Go To The Farm: Visit the Bessette family farm in winter, spring, summer and fall [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My daughter (2 years 2 months old) absolutely loves this video. I picked it out at our library because it looked good but never could have guessed just how good it is. We've had to watch it every night since we took it out and she sits entranced for the whole hour it's on. All the while, she comments about things going on in the video and when it's over I hear "Watch it again?". This is one that will entertain the kids and not drive parents crazy. I ordered it after night two and also found out there is a brand new one called "Mac Parker's Farm Stories" which was just released.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best, December 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Let's Go To The Farm: Visit the Bessette family farm in winter, spring, summer and fall [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Everything about this video is just right: the music is uptempo but soothing at at the same time, the action is well-paced, educational without being preachy. There are very few kids videos that can approach the quality of this one. Life on Elgin Spring Farms is good.
