Summary: Fun video for my children and me!
Review: I really liked this video. The subject matter is covered in a way that kept my kids attention and they actually learned something. There are some funny bits of humor that even I laughed at. I learned a lot, too. Some things I knew already, but other aspects of construction I never knew. Now I know! This DVD has chapters for quickly reviewing the different steps in the building process. It also has a Spanish language track which is cool if you speak Spanish or are learning. It has become my 5 year-old's favorite video along with Bob the Builder.

Summary: My Kids Love It
Review: My kids have watched every one of the kiddie-documentaries, from There Goes a Truck to I Love Airplanes, but this one is their favorite. I think it's because this show doesn't just celebrate something cool like trains or roller coasters. It shows people actually accomplishing something--starting with an empty lot and some plans and ending up with a house that people can move into. My kids can relate to that, and they love the details about electrical wiring and plumbing, not too technical and easy to understand. They watch this one over and over.
