We were excited to see Roary finally have his DVD. My son has enjoyed his videos as bonus episodes on other DVDs that he has. And the narrator, Sam Hornish Jr., in Roary the Racing Car is from my hometown area. I think Roary is a fun character that little kids will love. Preschoolers love cars and this fits that perfectly. They will love the great new characters on the Roary the Racing Car DVD.

The Roary the Racing Car DVD is made for children ages 2-5 years old. This is a great show for the preschool crowd. The DVD runs about 55 minutes long. You can check out more about Roary at www.roarytheracingcar.com. The Roary the Racing Car DVD is available in stores and online. I have one copy to give away. You can enter in the Rafflecopter form below.
