IN A NUTSHELL:

Short and sweet and just right for bedtime for toddlers and pre-schoolers. Essentially, this is a 25 minute video which is comprised of 2 short stories illustrated via animation and narrated by celebrities.

STORY 1: LITTLE TOOT AND THE LOCH NESS MONSTER: Narrated by Rick Moranis

Little Toot, a character we saw in Disney animation of the pre-war period has returned. This time he ends up meeting and saving the famous, by very nice, Loch-Ness monster. While other tugs are literally hunting 'Nessie' down, Little Toot makes a new friend in the mysterious monster and creates a diversion to facilitate Nessie's escape from the hunters.

STORY 2: CHOO-CHOO 'THE STORY OF THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT RAN AWAY' Narrated by Bonnie Raitt

This is a story about a little train that decides to go see the world on her own. Before long she is regretting her choice and fortunately gets back to the train yard before anything really bad happens to this youngster on tracks.

BOTTOM LINE:

Not available yet on DVD, these videos are getting hard to find. Children do find these stories calming, and they do seem to fill a gap between reading and video that youngsters seem to appreciate and benefit from.

`

This is a great video that all young children will love. Bonnie Raitt does an especially good job of narrating "Choo Choo".
