5.0 out of 5 stars Disco dancing steam shovels delight!, July 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

We first rented this video from the local library and just had to have one for our home collection. It's hard to know who loves this video more, our three-year old son or his parents. The animated story of Mike and his steam shovel Mary Ann is as charming as the book, and the music is a wonderful addition - who could imagine a trio of power shovels dancing and singing to a disco beat, "No steam shovels wanted!" Aside from the fun, there are great lessons about loyalty, hard work, cooperation and coping with change. I know this will be a family favorite in our house for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real hit with the little ones!, September 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After I read the book over and over to my daughter, she found the video at a rental place. What a find! She loves the songs that are part of the story (I have heard her singing "no steam shovels wanted" dozens of times) and finally after spending more to rent the thing over and over than it would have cost to purchase it, I found it here. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Its Wholesome, Its Catchy, And It Ain't Pokemon!, June 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It has these three things going for it and more!My 2 & 4 year old sons adore this video. I shared this book from my childhood from them and they asked for it a few times a day. Then we spotted the video at the library decided to purchase it when they couldn't bear to put it in the return drop box. The story has a good message and the art work was carefully preserved to do justice to Virginia Lee Burton's original illustrations. There are several catchy songs that children will love to sing along with. It is a wonderful video to share with your kids and enjoyable for parents too.
