Richard Scarry's Best Sing-A-Long Mother Goose Video!

Rating:
Summary: adorably sung, easy to listen to
Review: I adore this DVD. If you loved Richard Scarry books as a kid, you will have every reason to appreciate this DVD. Huckle leads you through Mother Goose Land on a search for Lolly Worm and on the way meets many of the characters from the Mother Goose books. The songs are simple, sweet, and well sung with good accompanying music. Runs at about 30 minutes with no replay feature, but well worth the buy. My 15 month old daughter is fixated on this video.

Summary: I'm so glad I gave it a chance
Review: I bought this video sight unseen by default when my children's book club sent it to me by accident. It turned out to be one of the happiest accidents ever.
At first I assumed that my then-two-year-old son would be bored by a musical story of little animated animals wandering through Mother Goose land (This is a kid who worships Bob the Builder). One day I put it in when a favorite TV show was preempted by the news, and he was entranced. Soon the production-quality tunes were stuck in both our heads and we could be heard 'round the house singing "little Bo Peep" and "Three Little Kittens who lost their mittens". This a great way to memorize nursery rhymes and they will stick with him for life.
In a world of slickly animated action cartoons designed to plug kids for merchandise, this Richard Scarry video is a breath of fresh air your family should not be without.

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: I ordered this video for my son about a week ago and he won't watch anything else. I'm very impressed with Scarry's interpretation of the Mother Goose tales. It is a *very* well done, tasteful adaptation, with several twists of humor and irony for the parents' enjoyment. It is short and sweet, and leaves one with a good dose of the "warm fuzzies." It is my favorite medium for teaching Mother Goose so far.

Summary: Surprisingly good content
Review: I'm not a big fan of TV/videos for young children, but this DVD is one of the few exceptions in our house. My 2 year old son loves Huckle and Lowly the worm -- since we have a Mother Goose book, the songs are all familiar to him and that much more fun to see in action. The animation is not jerky and fast like some other videos and is a perfect 30 minutes in length. Definitely recommend this one for the preschoolers!

Summary: Sweet and simple! Cute animals, nice songs, not annoying.
Review: My daughter (who has a ton of videos) absolutely adores this video. It is her favorite and she always wants to watch it again. Interestingly enough, these productions are quite low-tech when compared to things like Blue's Clues, Barney, etc., but something about them is very endearing. The music is well-done, and the voices of the characters are cute and well-chosen. All the classic nursery rhymes are here such as "Old King Cole," "Little Boy Blue" "Hey Diddle Diddle," "Little Bo Peep," "Old Mother Hubbard," etc. If you can get past the slightly hokey animation, you'll probably enjoy this simple, sweet rendition of Mother Goose (or at least your 2-year-old will).
