A big hit with kids as young as 2 years old (though preschoolers tend to find it absolutely hilarious), Best Silly Stories and Videos begins with Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm making their way to a library, where they check out a book about silly stories, three of which come to life. Forgetful Mr. Rabbit strolls into fresh tar, extracts himself, and vows never to ignore his surroundings again--all while heading toward the edge of a dock. The next tale is a series classic about the incompetent Mr. Fix-It and his confusion over sorting out the pieces of broken toys. (He manages to make a cuckoo clock ring like a bell, a fire truck cry "Mama," and a doll screech like a siren.) The last vignette concerns a father and his twin children, who get into numerous misadventures when Dad leaves his glasses behind somewhere. Kids love it when they see the hapless pop mistake a succession of vehicles--including a fire truck and a banana mobile--for his own car. The songs scattered throughout this video also have comic appeal. --Tom Keogh |

I recently purchased the following videos: Best ABC Video, Best Counting Video, Best Learning Songs, Best Silly Stories & Songs, Best Busy People. These videos are all about 15-20 years old (release date) and I had my reservations as to whether my 3 year old would like them, as he is very stuck on his LeapFrog letter and words videos (which I also love). When I first viewed all of these, I realized that they are made with very simple animation, similar to when I was young. These videos are extremely charming and sweet. My son instantly loved them and has asked to view them repeatedly. It was nice to have a video with the actual alphabet song, as the LeapFrog letter factory does not have it. The counting video is also helpful in that it counts to 20 rather than 10 as other videos do. He enjoys the silly stories and laughs at all the videos. It is nice to know that kids can still enjoy classics such as these. I am very pleased with them. I also paid less than $1 or $2 for each of them (plus shipping). A bargain! |

Richard Scarry's Best Silly Stories and Songs Video Ever |
|
This is one of the best children's videos that we have. Our three year old grandson loves the characters and sits quietly while watching it. It is excellent for pre bedtime or anytime he needs to rest. The songs are memorable and the little characters are sweet and polite. |

Great for 4 year olds, especially those who love Richard Scarry! |

My 4 year old son loves these videos, we had owned all but this one. He watches this one over and over because the stories in this video are in his books, so now he sees them 'come to life' on tv. Highly recommend these videos as they contain nice gentle songs and dialogue. Very relaxing to watch for my son and not annoying for me. |

Richard Scarry's WORST Silly Stories and Songs Video Ever! |
|
I love Busytown, but this has got to be one of the worst Busytown videos ever! One of us was always scared of the Mr. Fix-It part. The problem was we only had one television, so my sisters had to always watch it downstairs while I was downstairs. I think Mr. Fix-It should learn how to fix things correctly, don't you agree? I reccomend the Counting video and the Spelling Bee video for kids instead of this haunted Mr. Fix-It movie. |

Great for a wide age range |
Both my kids love this DVD. It appeals to ages 1-7 and keeps them happy and quiet for a long time. Yeah!
