Frances: Bedtime For Frances DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Based on the book by Russell Hoban, Frances: Bedtime For Frances was recently released on DVD. Frances comes to life on screen to entertain a whole new audience of children.

The award winning book Bedtime For Frances is a fun addition to your library. The hard-bound book has the DVD inside. What a great bonus. The book originally debuted in 1960 and received the "Notable Children's Book" award from The American Library Association.

Frances is a fun-loving preschooler. Her parents and baby sister help to complete their family. I love how the dynamic of their family is fairly typical of a family with a toddler and baby. The girls are great friends and play together often. But there are also times when Frances can't stand having to miss out on things because of her baby sister. I also love the episode when Frances just won't go to bed. I can relate with her exhausted parents, because we've had days like that too.

I have to say, this is probably my sons favorite DVD. It has been since we've received it. We have watched it so many times, he could probably quote it line by line for you. He loves it.

One of the neat parts of this DVD is the classical music that they've incorporated into it. Frances loves to sing and dance. I enjoy all the songs she sings to the tunes of classical pieces. They are quite catchy and fun.

Also included on this DVD is an interactive Read-Along of "Bedtime for Frances", a character gallery, and a bonus episode of Fifi and the Flowertots. It is targeted at children 2-5 years old. And it runs for about 47 minutes. I would recommend this DVD to any young children.

Buy It: You can get your own copy of Frances: Bedtime for Frances in stores now or online too.

Win It: I have two (2) copies of this DVD to giveaway to you lucky readers.

To enter: Leave a comment here. (That's it, I'll make it simple this time.) You must also leave your e-mail address, so I can contact you when you win.

Bob The Builder ON SITE: Skyscrapers DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

"Can we build it?" "Yes, we can!" I love hearing that! We are pretty big Bob the Builder fans here. This was the first real TV that my son watched. He was in love with tractors, cars, trucks, and anything else with wheels. So my dad found a Bob the Builder DVD, and Zachariah fell in love.

His favorite Bob the Builder videos are the newer ON SITE ones with real live machinery. Just like the newly released Bob The Builder ON SITE: Skyscrapers. My son loves the live action. And he learns so much from watching things being built too. He knows way more than me about it.

In Bob The Builder ON SITE: Skyscrapers Bob and his crew learn all about building big, tall, huge buildings- skyscrapers. From laying the concrete to putting in elevators, you will learn it all. And you'll even see all about parking garages.

Shortly after we first viewed this DVD, we stayed downtown of a larger city near us. My son was in awe of the skyscrapers. He was pointing so many things out about them. I was shocked at what he'd learned in such a short time. Then are soon as we parked, he knew we were in a parking garage. He loved every minute of it. And I loved hearing about all the things he knew. What a personal adventure for us.

The Bob the Builder ON SITE: Skyscrapers DVD has some neat features too. There is a "Build It with Bob" Puzzle, "Trivia Tune Up", and of course a bonus episode of Roary the Racing Car...which we love too.

The target age is 2-5. And this DVD runs about an hour.

And you can let you kids watch a preview of this video online here.

Buy It: You can get your own copy of Thomas & Friends: High Speed Adventures in stores now or online too.

Win It: I have two (2) copies of this DVD to giveaway to you lucky readers.

To enter: Leave a comment here. (That's it, I'll make it simple this time.) You must also leave your e-mail address, so I can contact you when you win.

Barney: Let's Go On Vacation DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Zachariah (my 3 year old) always loves viewing the new Barney movies. He'll watch it about 3 times and memorize it. (It must start right at the beginning or I'm in trouble.) But he would recommend this video to any Barney fan...or any child would needs introduced to Barney.

HIT Favorites: Playtime Pals DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

HIT Favorites: Playtime Pals is a great collection of best HIT characters and shows. Your children will really enjoy all the fun adventures with Thomas & Friends, Barney, Fifi and the Flowertots, Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam and Kipper.

I love themed DVDs like this. This one doesn't disappoint. It's all about summertime fun. And there is plenty of it with characters like these.

My son is very excited about Summer. He keeps asking where summer is. Since school is out around here already, I told him that now it's summertime. Of course, then he wants to know when we're "going to Summer". Ha! While he might not quite get the point yet, he does like all the fun that we have in the Summer. Swimming, playing outside every day, picnics, fireworks, and so much more. So what better way to start of the summer than with a rainy day, right? At least we have the HIT Favorites: Playtime Pals DVD. He can experience summer a little through his favorite TV shows.

Thomas & Friends are preparing for a festival. But first Thomas has to deliver a light bulb for the lighthouse. I hope he makes it back in time for the fun.

Barney and his friend explore all the activities they can do in the summer. What a way to start it off.

Fifi and the Flowertots make their own "beach" when they can't get to one. I know I love a good day at the beach too.

Bob the Builder helps to builds new stops for Splasher the water bus to pick up passengers.

Fireman Sam always has his hands full when Norman, James and Sarah are around and looking for things to do.

Kipper and his friends are headed to the pool. That's a great way to cool off on a warm day.

And finally the bonus episode of Roary the Racing Car can't be beat.

HIT Favorites: Playtime Pals DVD is just over an hour long. And it is targeted at children ages 2-5.

Buy It: You can get your own copy of HIT Favorites: Playtime Pals in stores or online now.

Win It: I am fortunate enough to have one (1) copy of this fun DVD to giveaway to you lucky readers.
