Review: As amazing as it may seem, some of us are in a situation where it is just us and the baby. For example, a person's husband might work evenings and they work days. A "Wiggles tape" as my son(18 months)calls them could be what allows me to "cook a bite". Those are my son's words, not mine. Congratulations, I am so impressed that you can stay home with your child. I would love it if I could do that, but in order to do that, I would have to change some things that directly impact him. As it happens, I am afforded enough opportunities to take off that he gets to spend an entire day with "Momma" at least twice a month. He still gets to maintain his standard of living.The point is: You have no business judging people about how they entertain their children unless you have been in their shoes.

Review: CAN WE FIX IT? YES WE CAN! is the rallying cry for Bob the Builder and his friends, including his cat Pilchard. At age 2 1/2, my son LOVES this video, and he asked for it daily for several days after I had to return it to the library. The characters are funny, and the episodes teach cooperation and respecting others. The characters are not annoying at all. I enjoy watching Bob the Builder myself. ken32

Summary: 2 1/2 year olds glued to the tellie?
Review: Doesn't anyone see something wrong with a 2 1/2 year old sitting in front of the tellie for an hour without mommy? Mommy must get lots of time on the computer/phone instead of taking care of her child!

Review: My 2 1/2 year old loves the Bob the Builder Videos. He actually sits and watches the entire tape without mom having to stay in the room with him. These are cute videos dealing with team work.

Summary: My kid is a huge fan
Review: My two-year-old absolutely adores Bob the Builder. We play together frequently with his BTB toys and vehicles, recreating scenes from the videos or inventing new situations. The videos in general are excellent, but this is my personal favorite. The stories are fairly complex for a 2-year-old but deeply engaging. ("Can We Fix It?" is also excellect.) Usually we watch it together and comment on what's happening, but it's also valuable that he's happy to watch it by himself so that I can get some quiet time to feed the baby or put her to sleep (my wife is often out in the evenings). No harm in letting your child watch some wholesome programming on his own so long as you don't let him overdo it. I guess "A Viewer from France" would have to have a child to understand this.

Review: Pets in a Pickle is another big hit in our home! From problem solving to the laugh out loud silliness, this is a wonderful way to show young children that working as a team is very rewarding. Another must have for Bob the Builder fans.

Review: So, there are a number of us out here in the real world who thank the lord for a few minutes to clean up the kitchen while our youngster watches Bob the Builder. Sure, he's a tool getting walked on by Wendy and the gang--but hey, he also is eternally positive and a decent role model. Besides, thetype of parent that selects Bob for their children will most likely spend time with our children far outweighs the amount of time spent in front of the tellie. You obviously don't have children
