This Bob the Builder video features the adventures of Bob and his crew of machines, as they work together, solve problems and build friendships.
In Bob's Barnraising, Bob must repair Farmer Pickles' barn before the big storm. Can he repair the barn and get the bales in before it rains? In Mucky Muck, Bob is about to wash down a mud-splattered Scoop and Muck when they are called to rescue Travis. After a mud pie fight, Bob gives them all a good soapy wash.
While Wendy and the machines construct a crazy golf course in Wendy Plays Golf, Bob builds a windmill - without the directions! Soon Bob discovers he has built himself inside the windmill! Then, Lofty is fitted with a magnet in Magnetic Lofty so he can clear the rails off an old train track. See what happens when the magnet begins to control him!
PLUS 4 Mini-Adventures!
* Square Dance Spud
* Dizzy Scores a Goal
* Scruffy's Bath Time

My toddler loves Bob the Builder. He loves the theme song, the characters, and the not-so-scary "villains." The characters face real fears (fear of the dark, fear of heights, fear of the unknown) and are often shown overcoming them with a little help. My husband's favorite part of the video is (almost) everyone's "can-do" attitude -- it helps when something is broken, when it's time to pick up toys, etc. "Can we pick up? Yes we can!" Even the one character (Lofty the crane, who's afraid of heights...) who isn't so sure about his ability to get the job done is shown getting his part of the job done with a little help. The tone is gentle and kind.

Bob - Bob the industrious, Bob the eternally optimistic, Bob the ever cheerful builder. Beloved of children on both sides of the Atlantic (including my daughter the industrious, eternally optimistic, generally cheerful toddler). How could anyone not like Bob?Granted, the tales of Bob do not possess the quirkiness or intellectually layered complexity of Sesame Street (you parents know what I mean - can you spot the William Tell reference in the "1,2,3" video?). However, he also lacks - thank the Lord - the chirpy droning musical numbers of Barney. No, Bob is earnest, forthright, and eminently good-natured. Friendship, craftsmanship, creativity, cooperation, and pride in what you do are all important elements in the world of Bob. To be truthful, I actually find myself wondering some things about future episodes myself. Will Bob and Wendy ever declare their love for one another? Just how diversified is Farmer Pickles' agricultural operation? How does a truck crane develop acrophobia, and is it treatable? Just what is Bob's last name? Take it from me, a father who has committed the three Bob tapes in our house to memory from repetitive viewing in the company of an ardent Bob admirer, Bob is a wholesome, gentle entertainment that should give no parent doubts or qualms.

I'll keep this short and sweet. If you want to see your kids roll on the floor holding their bellies in laughter then purchase this video! The Bob's Barnraising and Mucky Muck episodes have delightfully funny stuck in the mud humor with spinning wheels in the mud, and of course mud flying everywhere. There is a down and dirty playful mud "fight" between Spud, Dizzy, and Muck. Lastly, they all get a very soapy, tickilish scrub brush bath in the end! Muddy good fun and lots of laughter for all!

Bob is our household hero. My son, who is 2 and a half, loves Bob and his crew... and their various adventures on this DVD. I even sing an altered version of the theme song when brushing teeth... it works wonders for cooperation. What we like best about Bob is that he is a great role model (even if he's made of some clay goop)... he's patient, kind, encouraging, and he has a great work ethic. What more could a parent ask for from a TV personality? And Wendy is a great side kick. She'd make a fabulous best friend... and I have to wonder, with the previous reviewer, whether or not Bob is ever going to get it together and state his intentions. Of course, my two-year-old does not care about this at all, which is probably a good thing.Besides the fact that the cool British voices have been replaced by regular Americans, the only thing that bugs me, as a parent, is Lofty's lack of self-esteem. No matter how much praise and encouragement he receives in one episode, he's back to snivelling insecurity in the next ("can we fix it?... uh, I think so... maybe"). Maybe at some point, Lofty will be allowed to learn and grow from his experiences and not be so negative (I really don't think this 'problem' of Lofty's is necessary). My son, who is a sensitive little guy, always wants me to scan through the insecure bits. He loves Lofty (he has the Brio character) and hates to see him upset. Fortunately, DVD makes this very easy to do (of course, it means I have to be with him to watch it but that's okay). The "Bob" shows outshine most other children's videos and "Can We Fix It?" is certainly worth adding to your child's collection.
