5.0 out of 5 stars Our son's favorite video, April 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: There Goes a Tractor [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Our son received this as a gift when he was 18 months old. He is now 23 months old and it has been his favorite video for about 4 months. Once we put it in he is glued to the television. This was our first video in this series, so we actually like the new Dave better than the old one. We have since gotten There Goes a Train and There Goes a Firetruck, but our son loses interest in them about halfway through. While they are excellent videos also, I think the content on the firetruck one is a bit too involved for our son right now, and the train one focuses too long on the inside of the train. Our son loves watching big vehicles move, and There Goes a Tractor has plenty of that.

3.0 out of 5 stars not the best of this popular series, February 27, 2003

This review is from: There Goes a Tractor [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This installment of the popular There Goes A .... series is not as good as others. As a matter of fact, I'd say it is one of the worst, though kids will still enjoy it. The host is Dave Sidoni rather than Dave Hood, and the emphasis is on goofiness rather than on charm or information. While we do see lots of tractors and many attachments are shown (plow, fertilizer, spreader, etc.), including the inside of the cab, these devices are not explained terribly well or examined closely. Similarly, Dave visits a seed store, maintenance garage, milking facility, and ice cream and cheese manufacturers, but nothing is really explained in any depth, as other tapes in the series do. Still, if your child loves tractors, they will not be put off by goofy Dave or a lack of information. They will enjoy this tour of a big farm (not a friendly mom-and-pop farm with animals running around, unfortunately). Dave also rides in a helicopter to fertilize a field.

My advice: if your child is primarily interested in tractors, get this video; if you are just starting on this fun series and don't really care where you start, then try There Goes a Firetruck or There Goes a Bulldozer first -- they are funnier and more interesting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where is the real Dave???, August 23, 2003

This review is from: There Goes a Tractor [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My son loves the "There goes a" video series, especially the humor of Dave and sometimes Becky. He was really excited to watch this new video until he realized Dave, the old Dave, had been replaced. What a disappointment. I guess it's the older videos for us.
