Row, Row, Row Your Boat (20 Fun Kids songs to sing and dance to)

brilliant
My sons, aged 2 and 4, love these DVD's (this one and Wheels on the Bus). The main presenter has lots of energy and is amusingly inventive with his characters, and has a lovely singing voice. The kids are super, and great singers, and they put loads into it. The way the locations change according to the songs is good and keeps it interesting, and some of the songs have the kids singing against simple animated picture backgrounds which my youngest boy really likes.My eldest son is slightly autistic and not inclined to 'join in' with things, but I have seen him doing the actions to some of the songs when they're on. The songs are all lovely - I didn't know half of them before getting the dvds but they're easy to pick up, and my boys wander round singing bits of them, which is so nice to hear.There are no ads or idents at the start of the dvd too, it just goes straight in to the menu which is very good.

A Favourite for the Under Fives
We bought this DVD for our grandson when he was about two years old and he couldn't get enough of it. He asked for it to be played every time he visited. Eventually, the DVD went home with him and I guess he might have grown out of it by now. My husband and I think Tony George is great, we used to laugh at his costumes and play-acting. The songs are not too long and using real people to illustrate them brings them more to life. I read some reviews that complained there were no lyrics, but they are not needed for children so young. I now look after my two year old grandaughter. I am getting quite fed up of Peppa Pig and need a change! So I am buying the whole set of Tony and the children for her. I hope she loves it as much as her cousin did.

Fun for all
I bought this for my 14-month old granddaughter and in retrospect she was too young as it was her least favourite. Now, at 19 months she will select it herself from her library of DVDs(!) and enjoys watching it. Although cartoon characters work well on other DVDs, this is the only one she has with children and she seems to enjoy watching them. They sing well, the words are clearly understood and the actions are easy to mimic. I think the young man connects well with the children and his audience and looks as though he is enjoying himself. With a running time of around 45 minutes, it is just long enough.

Annoyingly brilliant
My 2 year old son recently obtained a baby brother so needed a new primary caregiver. Enter this DVD and it's sister 'Wheels on the Bus'.Personally I found it almost painfully cringeworthy the first 50 or so times I watched it. Luckily the intended audience found it spellbinding, but not so spellbinding he sits open mouthed while his brain slowly deteriorates and his bottom spreads to match that of mine in width. Oh no, he sings, dances and shows off his many, many gifts all whilst not destroying my house or asking me to play with him.In short, this DVD is great and highly recommended, be warned you shall be singing annoying nursery rhymes for days after watching it but nobody will notice, they'll be too busy commenting on the weetabix splattered artfully down your trouser leg.Ah, the joys of children.Seriously though, get the DVD, it's brilliant.

delightful dvd
Bought this and Wheels on the Bus also for my two year old grandson and he loves it. He sings along to the songs and loves also to sit and "chill" as well, doing the actions.. I think the children singing are very natural and sing with such clarity and my grandson also giggles along at the funny songs. Like the other reviewer said, he also laughs when the presenter dresses up.. His mum commented about him singing all the songs when he goes home so Ive ordered another set for him to take home.. He has his favourites which we have to repeat several times which I think is lovely.. I love it too and even find myself humming them when he goes home!!!! Highly recommended, a truly must have!!

this is smashing
A neighbour bought 2 of these for my great grandsons first birthday. He absolutely loved them from the start He is 16 months now and loves this one too. His face lights up especially when Tony is making us smile, he loves Tony and so do I.He knows all the songs and when I sing them and miss out a word he always say's the word that I've missed out.Whenever he comes to my house he say's wheels wheels and makes for the stairs. He means 'The wheels on the bus' which is one of the first of Tony and the children's dvds so we sit on my bed and watch them together. He enjoy's them all equally.Better than watching animated cartoon singing. in my opinion.

row row row your boat
this is an outstanding dvd, i got it for my daughter and my sisters girls who are all 23months. The songs are very clear and are just long enough to keep the kids attention it also has children singing with the songs and they are excellent, some of the songs have real animals in the background eg; old mac donald, the children in the dvd do actions to some songs and my daughter loves to join in with this, when this dvd is on she is rooted to the spot the best money ive spent for a long time and my older children join in too!! next purchase must be "the wheels on the bus" from the same company, wish there was more than two dvds from this film company.
