Tired of inane sing-along videos with cheesy music and a lack of cohesiveness? The Mother Goose Treasury, Vol. 2 features fully orchestrated songs, elaborate costuming, bright backgrounds, and even a story line! The scatterbrained Mother Goose and her young gosling Bertram are headed to town to complete some grocery shopping. Along the way they encounter a plethora of famous Mother Goose characters, including Jack (as in "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick"), Miss Muffet, Mary (and her lamb), Humpty Dumpty, and Simple Simon. Each encounter elicits a recitation of the appropriate story, either in song or verse, complete with choreography, puppetry, and onscreen subtitles. The "puppetronic" technology deserves special mention--it brings the puppetry to life and is suggestive of Jim Henson's Muppet productions. Joining the puppets is a large cast of human actors who sing, dance, and generally enthrall audiences from 3 to 8 years old. This volume offers 58 minutes of sing-along fun that kids will request repeatedly. For more Mother Goose sing-alongs, check out Mother Goose Treasury, Vol. 1. --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description
The most endured and popular nursery rhymes of Mother Goose are timeless, and children who could only see and hear the classic tales, can now sing along. Each song is lavishly produced with full orchestration, beautiful costuming, and exquisitely detaile

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank goodness I found them again!, June 22, 2001

By	E. Angell (Nashua, NH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Memories, May 30, 2004

By	Sunshyne "rnb_junkie" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mother Goose Treasury - Vol. 1 (DVD)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Program - Add It To Your Library!, November 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Mother Goose Treasury - Vol. 1 (DVD)

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.
