Our thoughts
This DVD is perfect timing with the dozen or so summer birthdays we’re set to attend! I love Thomas and Friends, as it teaches important life lessons such as problem solving, friendship, cooperation and discovery. Kieran loved Percy’s Parcel. She loved that he got a present (hey, what kid wouldn’t?!). She also had a great time playing “The Birthday Express” game, included as a bonus feature on the DVD, although she is a newbie to controlling the DVD remote. The game is great for practicing following directions and color and pattern recognition. I liked that there was a movie portion following the game portion, which gave Kieran a nice reward for completing the game. I liked “Double Trouble”, because it got the best laughs out of Kieran when Sir Topham Hatt had a mustache (or so she thought…I won’t ruin the surprise for you!). It was also great that this DVD came with a Wooden Train whistle.
