DVD Reviews of The Alphabet Train
DVD Review: Good, but over priced
Summary: 3 Stars
For what it's worth, my son continues to be *consumed* by trains. We have watched the "I Love Toy Train" series to death! As well as Thomas the Tank Engine videos. He now loves this one too and also asks for it. All things considered, this particular video is overpriced compared to similar types of videos. If the purpose is for your little train-lover to learn words, letters, phonics, etc. watch PBS for free and buy almost any of the "I Love Toy Trains" videos, or Thomas videos for less than $13 each. You can get 3 "...Toy Trains" videos in on DVD for what I paid for this one Alphabet Train video. My son is learning the alphabet from Leap Frog products we already had, Seseme Street and pre-school.
By the way, I agree with one of the other reviews mentioning the Thomas series, (i.e. faces are kind of creepy, annoying style and can be mean, etc) however, my son has seen them so much (over the last ~2.5 years) that he can pretty-much quote all the stories verbatim. I personally don't appreciate the Thomas series, but I can't deny my son has an expanded Brittish vocabulary (and knows when to use his new words) and has learned the basic lessons of each story as a result. So I guess they're not all bad. My son is now almost 4 and shows no sign of tiring of trains. Now he's got his 2.5 year old sister in on this train stuff. Good luck.
Description of The Alphabet Train
From A-to-Z, "Amtrak-to-Zephyr", packed with one full hour of fun and learning, this exciting video enhances children?s natural learning ability while exploring some of the coolest aspects of real trains.Your child will develop skills in vocabulary and phonics,and while interacting with our kids on the video will explore: "in & out", "over & under", "teamwork", "above & below", "off & on", "same & different", all sorts of really cool trains and their sounds, train safety, railroad jobs from "Brakeman-to-Yardmaster" and of course, The Alphabet.
Written by a mother of two/professional day care provider, and teamed up with awesome footage from award-winning producer Les Jarrett, this video is sure to please the whole family.
Ages 3 to 6 years. Endorsed by Kids First. Telly Award Winner.
Kids liked the VHS version of this program so much that many parents call to tell us that they need to order another one because the child has worn the first copy out!
