My little girl is infatuated with race cars. While you can blame it on Van Diesel, this film is a much healthier choice for children with appetites for the fast and the furious! In the words of my nine year old, "it teaches the basics of what makes racing cars different from street cars and Dave is so funny while telling us how to be safe and follow directions."

We bought this after we borrowed one of them from the library and our oldest son loved it. Unfortunately, our kids have watched it maybe 3 times now and lose interest after 10 minutes; they don't ask for it. I think it's a fun and educational way to teach kids about these things, so my husband and I are bummed that they're not excited about it. Yes, Dave is kinda cheesy, but the younger kids (toddlers, preschoolers) should enjoy it. I think they'd be more into it if we had started them at age 2. My 4 and 5-year old childcare girls always ask for it, though. I guess every kid is different. Still, I think the DVD is the perfect blend of humor, excitement, and information for kids, so I'm giving it 4 stars. The price is reasonable, so you could buy 1 DVD and see what your kids think of it. Our kids actually enjoy the "There Goes a Bulldozer" and "Rescue Adventures" DVDs, if that's any help.

My son really likes the "Dave Series". It's very informative and funny for my 4 year old. The only thing I didn't care for about this series is that Dave seems to get angry (in a funny way) a little too much. My son has commented about Dave hitting Becky.

My 2 yo son is obsessed with space shuttles so I got this DVD for him. He can watch it over and over and over again. I like that he's entertained but the videos are kind of cheesy. The acting is really bad and when people screw up their lines it's definitely not edited out. Still, that's kind of charming. The only thing I don't like is how Dave has to be this stereotypical male all of the time. I feel like I'm watching Home Improvement sometimes.

My 13- and 10-year-old practically wore out our "Dave & Becky" VHS tapes when they were little. I have been searching for these on DVD for our 3-year-old. I am so thrilled to have found them! The "There Goes a..." series is very informative, has a little slapstick humor from Dave Hood, and doesn't talk down to kids. "There Goes a Motorcycle" was the family favorite years ago, and we'll see what becomes the newest favorite.

My Four year old son loves this DVD. It is comical and entertaining while presented in an "informative format"...Like a documentary for kids! Well priced and super fast shipping makes it an A+. Will definitely order the other DVD's from this set.

My boys love it especially my 5 year old. All the "Dave Hood" movies are great.

As with most of the Real Wheels series, Dave and Becky do a fantastic job on a kids level. My son enjoyed all 3 parts of the dvd. Keep up the good work!

My son (4.5 yr) really love Real Wheel series. I already have some of the series in tape. But my love them so much, we decide to buy the whole set in DVD. After receive the DVD, my still watch at least 3 times of each vedio. Highly recommend if you have a boy from 3 to 5 yr old.

I bought 4 dvd's from the real wheels collection and was very disappointed. Lots of commentary and very little shots of things in action. Did not keep the attention of my preschooler--or the adults watching with him.
