Bob The Builder On Site: Skyscrapers

Review from www.firrkids.com
The On Site series is my absolute favorite type of Bob the Builder episode. Viewers are made to feel like they are part of an actual construction crew - watching workers build and getting a sneak peek inside the job site. Interspersed with the usual animation, this is a great video for kids of all ages. The dual imagery makes these videos equally educational and fascinating.

I bought this DVD for my grandchildren, ages 3 and 4. I never thought I would be writing a review of a child's product like this...but this one (and others, like Skyscrapers) rates high on my list.

I would recommend this to all.
