Review of "All About John Deere for Kids Part 1"

Consumer Vision, Inc, March 2005 DVD, 40 minutes Rating: G ASIN: B00067WTGA Recommended Ages: 2 - 10 Review by Sherri Allen: Do your children love tractors? Do they get mesmerized watching heavy equipment at work? Do they want to be farmers or bulldozer operators when they grow up? "All About John Deere for Kids Part 1" is the perfect DVD for all the tractor-crazy children out there. Packed with live-actions shots, "All About John Deere for Kids Part 1" presents viewers with tractors of all different shapes and sizes. Your children get to see tractors plowing large fields on farms, moving earth at construction sites, clearing timber in the forest and loading trucks at quarries. They get to learn about the earliest John Deere tractors. They get to learn about the latest John Deere tractors and find out how they make the most of modern technology by incorporating features such as GPS. They even get to see John Deere tractors used just for fun. As the name suggests, "All About John Deere for Kids Part 1" is very informative. There is so much information presented, in fact, that the narrative tends to get a little dry in parts -- it starts to sound a bit like a John Deere catalog. That's balanced, however, by things like the fun segment on John Deere toys, the interesting lessons on modern farming and, of course, the exciting visuals. If your children can't get enough of tractors and heavy equipment, I recommend "All About John Deere for Kids Part 1." Without having to step onto a worksite, they'll get to see all kinds of tractors doing all kinds of jobs.
