Sweet simplicity describes Bob the Builder, a hands-down winner among toddlers and preschoolers. Earnest, affable Bob and his crew of pastel-colored, animated machines solve pint-sized dilemmas with a can-do attitude. this 45-minute collection comprises four episodes, interspersed with four additional "mini-adventures." The stories depict a day in the life of the intrepid construction worker as he encounters perplexing troubles of the trade and faces each roadblock with ingenuity. In one story, a porcupine is about to be flattened by Roley the steamroller; in another, a missing tortoise looks suspiciously similar to the rocks that Scoop is moving. Before the day is over, Bob also saves a nest of mice and a baby bird, providing the subtle message that all creatures, however small and seemingly insignificant, deserve care and compassion. While adults may find the program slow going, it's perfectly paced for the under-5 set. --Lynn Gibson

Customer Reviews

Educational
Thia video is very educational and teaches team work, cooperation and friendship is a very gentle and interesting way. Quite a breath of fresh air from our kid's old favorite "Thomas the Train" that has a lot of angry attitudes. Highly recommend it as a gift for a 2-5 year old.

My 3 1/2 yr. old LOVES this video
When I need to keep my little one busy, BOY OH BOY...can Bob do it? Yes, he can. It's amazing how much my son enjoys the video, sings the theme song & plays with his trucks right along with it. I approve of the content, I appreciate the clear use of language (my son is speech delayed) and the interaction with others. I was very happy with this purchase and with other Bob the Builder videos.

A Toddler And His Dad Recommend "Bob The Builder"
This BBC children's show featuring "stop-motion claymation" animation has been voiced over for US audiences. "Constructive" and enjoyable, with plenty of great, engaging characters. It's my 2-year-old son's favorite show after "Blue's Clues" and "Kipper." For adults, it's fun to hunt for the UK references - coats of arms, European road signs, etc. Trivia Note: According to its distributors, "Bob the Builder" is also the #1 preschool show in Germany, Japan, and Australia.
