I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive in buying my son Madeline videos. But to my surprise, they're absolutely fantastic for boys and girls! He particuliarly loves this one. He imitates some of the funny sounds (like when the girls are going up the elevator and make a "whuuuuup" sound). Then there is the "Aww cots!" that the girls yell out in disgust. Madeline and the girls dislike their new quarters from the get go. But, as usual, Miss Clavel shows them the brighter side of the situation and sings a wonderful little song (Home Is Where the Heart Is) where all the little girls join in in unison. Watching my son stand in front of the tv joining in as well almost brought tears to my eyes. It's so cute seeing him interact with all the videos. I just ordered him 3 more Madeline tapes and will continue buying them!

Apart from being plain-old fun, as all Madeline books and videos are, this video teaches children the important of preserving historical buildings rather than destroying them. (If you want to share that concept with your kids in other ways, you might also want to read your children the book, "Barn Savers", by Linda Oatman High.)
