A limited amount of the videos will include free bonus toys relating to each title for the same suggested retail price of $9.99. While supplies last, At the Construction Site" comes with one of six different construction vehicles, In the Harbor" with a toy race boat and At the Race Track" with a toy race car, so viewers can play along as they watch their favorite machines in action.
A recent Amazon.com review acclaims the video series as presenting the world of heavy machinery in a safe and educational way." The 30 minutes videos are perfect for ages 3 to 8 and appeal to kids fascinated with big vehicles and the world of work.
Dig in for a big day as trucks, cranes and other big machines work to build a hospital and skyscraper in At the Construction Site." Big Cat the crane provides excellent narration and an introduction to all the machinery and processes that are involved in a modern construction project. Each small job contributes to the big whole. In the first few scenes, we watch as workers and Mighty Machines dig and set up the foundation for a hospital. Bulldozers, dump trucks and mixers make it all happen, and huge cranes lift heavy supplies around the site. Next, we see a skyscraper thats already 30 stories and growing. Kids will be amazed as Carmen the Crane lifts concrete walls and a huge cooling system to the top of the building.
In the Harbor" features new adventures every day, and Murphy the Police Boat is a fun guide to all of the activities in a busy city harbor. Again, each boat takes on a personality, with Murphys Irish brogue complementing the starched British inflections of Meriweather the ferryboat and Mackenzie the Scots-sounding fireboat. Flo is another ferry that confidently explains her important job of transporting people between the city and an outlying island. And when a gigantic freighter arrives, we see all of the processes of docking and unloading its fragile cargo. Kids will cheer as Mackenzie ends the day by showing off his waterspouts. He takes water from the harbor and blasts it through cannons mounted all around the boat.
At the Race Track" features all of the noise and energy of a real motor speedway. Our hosts are a pair of snappy racecars, Yellow and Gold Star. We see how painstakingly their crews must work to get them ready for the track. Meet the crew as they are fixing tires, priming the engines, and getting the drivers dressed and ready. The safety precautions for this exciting sport are emphasized, and viewers can cheer for their favorites during scenes of a real race.
