Bob the Builder - Can We Fix It?

Rating:
Summary: A great purchase!!
Review: I saw the advertisements to this video in a magazine, bought the video and haven't looked back since. It is the best invesment in a video I have ever made. My son, two, LOVES this video. He is constantly asking for the "tractor video". He would be content to watch it a hundred times over. I can hardly wait to run out and purchase the rest of the videos in the series! If your kids are into tractors at all get this video!!

Summary: bob the builder lacks safety sense!!
Review: i was really excited about bob the builder - i think it's a great premise! but when i watched it, i was appalled! bob follows *no* safety procedures whatsoever! this may not be a problem for city parents who want to teach their kids about the construction they see going on around them, but for rural kids, like mine, this is a very dangerous example. if my children ever behaved around our tractors and farm equipment the way that bob acts around his equipment, they'd lose body parts or risk their lives. i'm so glad i watched this before i allowed my children to see it (or in this case, didn't allow them to see it)!!

Summary: My kids think this one is a riot!!
Review: I'll keep this short and sweet. If you want to see your kids roll on the floor holding their bellies in laughter then purchase this video! The Bob's Barnraising and Mucky Muck episodes have delightfully funny stuck in the mud humor with spinning wheels in the mud, and of course mud flying everywhere. There is a down and dirty playful mud "fight" between Spud, Dizzy, and Muck. Lastly, they all get a very soapy, tickilish scrub brush bath in the end! Muddy good fun and lots of laughter for all!

Summary: Bob's the best!
Review: It's an irresistible combination - a catchy tune for both grownups and kids to sing along to, and a theme that teaches viewers that anything can be done, with a bit of creativity, hard work and fun. Bob the Builder has become my children's constant companion and his theme (Can we fix it? YES WE CAN!) is the family song. The tireless optimism and the innocent "we can do anything" attitude is just the thing for a world where even children's characters have become cynical.

Summary: Entertaining For Boys and Girls Alike
Review: My 2-1/2 year old boy/girl twins both love Bob and his crew. We own "Can We Fix It" and "Pets in A Pickle." While my kids like both videos, this is the one my daughter requests most often. We ran across the series on Nick Jr., and my son was immediately fascinated because of the construction vehicles. But now it's my daughter (a girly-girl in the making) who wants the video...EVERYDAY! It's great for her to see Wendy up on the ladder fixing a gutter for poor Farmer Pickle. Now, whenever they see construction vehicles on the road, they say "that's Scoop" or "that's like Muck," etc.

Summary: Stay away from Bob!
Review: My child likes these videos, but I have not seen very much value in them at all. The construction vehicles lack confidence and indulge in every fear. They whine incessently in extremely patronizing adult voices that are trying to sound like children. Forget this and buy Thomas the Tank Engine - a truly wonderful English import.

Summary: the best thing for my 3 year old
Review: My son is almost 3 and LOVES Bob. He sings the songs and he knows all the characters. This video allows him to see them anytime he wants and he sits there through the entire video mesmerized talking to Bob and Wendy when they say "can we fix it" my son yells "Yes we can"!

Summary: Great Values, Wonderful fun
Review: My toddler loves Bob the Builder. He loves the theme song, the characters, and the not-so-scary "villains." The characters face real fears (fear of the dark, fear of heights, fear of the unknown) and are often shown overcoming them with a little help. My husband's favorite part of the video is (almost) everyone's "can-do" attitude -- it helps when something is broken, when it's time to pick up toys, etc. "Can we pick up? Yes we can!" Even the one character (Lofty the crane, who's afraid of heights...) who isn't so sure about his ability to get the job done is shown getting his part of the job done with a little help. The tone is gentle and kind.
