Editorial Reviews

Review

"...chugs along at just the right clip..." (from "Parenting Picks, Best DVDs") --Parenting Magazine, July 2006


Product Description

"It's a very busy day in Dinkytown...." A little wooden train is pretending to be a real train, but he doesn't know much about what real trains do - he's only ever seen them at crossing gates. With some help from the Narrator and lots of imagination, the Busy Little Engine and his friend, Pig, have a lot of fun learning about what trains do all day!

Gentle transitions and easy pacing are appropriate for even the youngest viewers. Magical animations, real trains, and the loveable Pig make it fun for all ages (even parents and grandparents)!

Special Features include:
* Jump right to your favorite parts with Scene Selection
* Sing along with Pig in three original Sing-Along videos (lyric sheet included)
* See how the show was made in "Making The Busy Little Engine"

Featuring three new songs by Jimmy Magoo!

Running Time: Approximately 34 minutes, plus extras
Recommended Ages: 2-6 years old

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great kids' title., February 1, 2006
By Jack&Mom (SF Bay Area, California) - See all my reviews
The Busy Little Engine is a great DVD for kids. With wooden trains, real trains, a puppet pig, and some terrific music, my two year old gives it two thumbs up. The gentle pacing and straightforward editing help to make it an appropriate for kids as young as two. But the thoughtful story keeps it interesting for kids up to 6 or 7. The music, however, is the real standout. Mom and Dad don't mind the songs (I've even caught myself humming them on my own...) even after a zillion viewings. Clearly this one was made by a parent so you won't go wrong with this DVD.

-Jack & Mom

5.0 out of 5 stars Best train video on the market, May 10, 2006
As a mom of a toddler and a preschooler, who are obsessed with trains, I highly recommend this video. The Busy Little Engine is more than just a story told with trains, it provides kids the opportunity to learn about what trains actually do. The story is entertaining, the music is lively and both kids find it enjoyable. Plus, Pig is just so darn cute!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD, FANTASTIC music, August 21, 2007
By B. Rosen (Stillwater, OK USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My friend bought this for my son's 2nd birthday because he boys like it so much. They check it out from the library constantly. I had no idea what to expect, but it's great. My 2 year old LOVES it, and his 4 1/2 year old sister tolerates it. The music is great, even for parents. I wish there were more 'choo choo pig' (what my son calls it) movies!
