My older two children watched these movies so much they wore the VHS tapes out. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find them for our youngest... While Bertram the Goose can get on your nerves a little, after 500 showings, hey, what doesn't? In any case, I would rather listen to these tapes any day vs. Barney or the Teletubbies. We have many fond memories of the songs and skits, and still sing many of them today. These are a must-have for your little ones, they love the bright costumes and the music. Note: these are best viewed by 2-4 year-olds. Any older and the kids are just past it.

Made back in 1987 as "The Mother Goose Video Treasury", this is the endearing production made. It features Cheryl Rhoalds as a young human Mother Goose and Will Ryan as the funny, but, often wisecracking Bertram. In the town of Gooseberry Glen, Mother Goose and her friendly "watch-goose" help many of the town, including the goofy Humpty Dumpty, Who falls after Mother Goose tells him to down from the wall. She comes to his aid after his "Great Fall".

It was a rainy cold day in L.A. and I had Stevie, my 7 year old and her friend April, who is 6 over. I had too many Thanksgiving chores to play with them, so I popped in The Mother Goose Treasury, Vol. 1. To my delight, for a full hour, both kids were enraptured! On several songs; "Old King Cole", "Humpty Dumpty", "Little Miss Muffett" and "London Bridge", both kids were in fine form, just singing along with the program, having a great time.
This is a quality production that aired on The Disney Channel and uses very cool-looking puppet characters in a unique way. The kids (and I) liked the characters, the costumes and the dancing, which were all first-rate.
A GREAT Kids (probably 3-8 years) DVD, which allowed the kids to go back instantly to their favorite song over and over... until I stopped that!
Great for your own family or as an excellent low-cost gift - - I will definitely be getting Vol. 2 soon.

I used to own this volume and part 2 as a child and watched both of them repeatedly. I would love to own them again and relive memories from the past. This is a great thing for children of today to have. Kids growing up these days probably have no idea who Mother Goose is. What a shame! And why people are reviewing this video like it's a big screen motion picture is ridiculous. This is very old and for the kids. It's Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Geesh!

I am 21 now and I still remember these videos from when I was little. My mom got rid of them, so I was trying to find them to share their joy with my own children someday. As stated before, they don't have the best acting or casting, but when you are little, does that really matter to you. Little kids love them!!

I own the Mother Goose VHS videos. My daughters both love it so much the tapes are worn out. I couldn't find replacement videos anywhere. I am SO glad I found these DVDs!!

I have read some of the reviews and shame on you. Does the production matter? does the age of mother goose or the actors matter? No. The only thing that matters is that the babies/kids learn from it. And my 10 month old grandaughter LOVES THIS!! She is fully walking (and running) already and dances and laughs and makes that annoying, adorable "HONK HONK" sound that Bertram so often makes. My girls (now 16, 20 and 21) watched the VHS's when they were little and still remember them. I love them. We don't put it on and sit her down we participate and dance and sing and laugh!!! Enjoy the substance!!!! And make your kids opinion and learning experience much more important than your annoyance!!! P.S. - I love the Baby Einsteins, but not more than these!!!!!

My 18 month old loves this video. She watches it over and over. I agree that it is not an acadamy winner, however it is simple, colorful, and musical. Young preschoolers at daycare also enjoy it. I think it is very appropriate for 1-4 year olds. They are not as critical as adults.

I first watched this video when I was little. I used to spend hours in front of the TV watching it over and over again. This video is filled with song and dance numbers to your favorite Mother Goose nursery rhyme. It engages the child to sing along with all the fun lovable characters. This is a great video for children.

I remember this when I was young and HAD to watch it with my younger brother and sister. For some reason the title song to this collection always stuck in my head. So when I had a child of my own (she's 2) I decided to track down the Mother Goose I remember. I cannot believe I found this on DVD! My daughter absolutely LOVES these 2 dvd's. Best purchase I ever made for her. She's entertained, she loves Humpty Dumpty, she loves all the singing and she get's up and dances with the songs! I agree that the cinematography is horrible and the actors aren't so wonderful, but I remember my bro and sis loving it...and NOW MY DAUGHTER ADORES IT! I wish I could find volumes III and IV on DVD!!!!
