We love this video. Salty is especially neat and shows the viewers that even though you may not enjoy what you're doing right now, pretty soon you'll be rewarded for your hard work and get to do what you enjoy. Salty is sent to the quarry to help out and gets the job done so very fast and impresses Sir Topham Hat. Salty is able to keep the troublesome trucks in line and is the only engine able to do so. In the Fogman story, when Hatt tries to replace Seral with a machine to warn the engines of fog, it causes a disaster and Seral gets his job back. Percy helps Harold when he crashes to the ground and learns how to be a true friend.
We watch this video over, and over and over... It is just so very cute and well done. Highly recommend!
Use to watch this every Halloween growing up...had some friends getting together to do some pumpkin carving and decided that this was a necessity! It was a perfect addition to our festive night and even had some extras on there that I was not expecting...Defiantly worth my purchase, and I look forward to picking up more (Thanksgiving and Christmas ect.) to add to my collection. :]
I may never be able to take my whole family to Africa for an animal safari but this DVD was a very affordable alternative.
This DVD is different from others in that is does not have a long spoken narrative. The various game parks in Kenya are introduced by kids who tell you what animals to look out for and other interesting facts. After the kids' introductions, each park features great footage of the animals & their habitat with the narration provided by an inspiring soundtrack perfectly choreographed to the personality of each animal.
The DVD appeals to many ages. My three year old nephew watches the DVD with rapt attention. My daughter's first grade class protested when the teacher stopped the DVD before it was done. My third grade son loves it. Adults will enjoy the journey, the beauty of the animals, the music, and the opportunity to share an entertaining & educational experience with their family. Highly recommended. It is nice to have something to watch that the whole family can enjoy!
This is what my seven year old daughter has to say about the DVD (in her own words): I like to stop the DVD and draw the animals. I like to see the animals in their natural habitat. I like the pretty colors of the Bee-eater. I like to see how their personalities are different. I like to see how it is to spend time with African animals. I like to get a globe out and find the places they go. I like the music. I like how it makes you feel like you are in Africa. I like to see how the flamingos walk.
KidsLoveAnimals.com will donate 2% of the list price from the sale of this DVD to the Cheetah Conservation Fund (cheetah.org), and to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (lewa.org) to save endangered animals.
I Thank Amazon for having Flying House on DVD finally! I was hoping that they would release another Flying House because this one only have four episodes. They have gotta release more episodes than four. And that is also the same gose for superbook! But other than that i really do appreciate the DVD. My nephew is going to enjoy it. And he is about to be two-years old! This is the best hard to find birthday gift ever! Thanks Amazon!
