Product Description: "Pilot Dave" Hood, cocreator and host of the There Goes a... series of children's videos, straps himself into a variety of flying machines in There Goes a Plane. Riding shotgun on a stunt plane that loops and whooshes to a dizzying degree, Hood does a lot of yelping, but he also succinctly and entertainingly describes exactly why airplanes defy gravity. (Adults can learn, too.) We learn the workings of passenger jets, and how the airline industry functions in various other ways, from selling passenger tickets to getting one's luggage to its proper destination. The plentiful comic moments include the sight of Hood falling onto a suitcase conveyor belt. In There Goes a Train, engineer Dave shows us around old and new trains, takes control of a freight train going top speed, and introduces us to steam engines, locomotives, and an old caboose. Plenty to see, lots of location shooting, big action for tykes interested in moving machines. Dave's banter might go over the heads of some of the target audience, but you can ignore that. There Goes a Bus is an information-jammed journey into the secret lives of the thundering buses that thrill us when we're little. The beloved yellow and black ones are only the beginning: besides city buses, cross-country Greyhound types, and touristy double-deckers, we also get a lift on an articulated number (the kind that bends) and--the traffic stopper--a bus that, when driven into water, becomes a boat. Stops for maintenance and under-the-hood investigations keep the wheels going round and round, and rap sessions with a bus-driving honcho buckle us in for the long haul.

Travel adventure DVD
Great video for older kids! My grandson is 3 and loves trains and trucks
but this video is too mature for him. My mistake.

Scratched DVD
When I received the DVD it was so scratched up that it would hardly play in the DVD player. I put it in my DVD cleaner and scratch remover, but it is to badly scratched up.

Fun! Fun! Fun!
My son began this series with this video when he was 2 and loved Thomas. This was great for learning about engines and entertaining with Dave and his slapstick comedy. He continues to ask for the video's and he will be 4 this year. A lasting investment.

VERY educational, and fun, too!
My 3 year-old son got this for Christmas. He loves anything about trains. It's got lots of great video of all kinds of trains and planes and buses. The narrator, Dave, is silly and makes us laugh. But the best thing is that he really "knows his stuff." My husband and I enjoy learning all about the parts of a train/plane/bus and how they all work. I'm not sure my son gets all of the terminology, but Dave explains it in a way that is easy for any of us to understand. My son's favorite part of the video is the sing-along extra about trains.

Twins love it! Surprisingly informative for adults
My twin toddlers' find Dave's antics hilarious - especially as Bus Driver Dave. The aircraft carrier footage always prompts a "wooooowwww". No matter how many times they see it. Bonus that there's a female pilot(Although there's some weird reference from the commander about staying off drugs to join the Navy...) Adults won't be utterly bored like some kids videos. You can tell kids helped make this series.
