Bob the Builder - Tool Power (DVD, 2003)

I bought the Bob the Builder - Tool Power DVD for my grandchildren to replace the one that was misplaced. My grandchildren (ages 1, 3, & 4) all love it. It is a fun collection of episodes from the television show that also teach children valuable lessons. I would recommend to any parent or grandparent with young children.

My two year grandson has just one Bob the Builder book entitled Bob's Busy Day, a little pop up book. He loves this although he is mostly a Thomas the Train fan with several of the books and a good dozen DVDs. He also has several Teletubbies and some the Wiggles movies. I thought maybe he would be interested in a Bob the Builder movie, but I was wrong. He can't seem to watch more than 15 minutes before he loses interest. I watched the complete movie and compared to Thomas the Train and Teletubbies, the movie looks flat because it doesn't have the realism like Thomas movies. The trees are flat drawings not real looking with depth. The houses and structures are simple multi-colored brights and pastels instead of real looking brown, green, black wooden buildings and bridges. The story line is similar to Thomas the Train about teamwork, cooperation, getting along, having good manners and being kind. Maybe over time my grandson might be more interested in the movie when he gets used to the non realistic scenes.

My son and I checked this out at the library and he LOVED this Bob show (don't know why but he cried when we had to take it back to the library). He gets worried about Bob at one point and always says "careful Bob". So I looked around until I found a new one. This is his second most favorite Bob DVD (first is Sir Fix-a-lot).

I got it for my son he loves bob and all his tools ! Its his favorite dvd ! Thanks again it put a great big smile on his face ! To me thats priceless !

This is another in the series depicting a lovable character doing good deeds. Entertaining for the kids and good value for the family. Keeps the children occupied with more than idle nonsense TV.
