"My older two children watched these movies so much they wore the VHS tapes out. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find them for our youngest... While Bertram the Goose can get on your nerves a little, after 500 showings, hey, what doesn't? In any case, I would rather listen to these tapes any day vs. Barney or the Teletubbies. We have many fond memories of the songs and skits, and still sing many of them today. These are a must-have for your little ones, they love the bright costumes and the music. Note: these are best viewed by 2-4 year-olds. Any older and the kids are just past it."

"I used to own this volume and part 2 as a child and watched both of them repeatedly. I would love to own them again and relive memories from the past. This is a great thing for children of today to have. Kids growing up these days probably have no idea who Mother Goose is. What a shame! And why people are reviewing this video like it's a big screen motion picture is ridiculous. This is very old and for the kids. It's Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Geesh!"
Great Program - Add It To Your Library!

"It was a rainy cold day in L.A. and I had Stevie, my 7 year old and her friend April, who is 6 over. I had too many Thanksgiving chores to play with them, so I popped in The Mother Goose Treasury, Vol. 1. To my delight, for a full hour, both kids were enraptured! On several songs; "Old King Cole", "Humpty Dumpty", "Little Miss Muffett" and "London Bridge", both kids were in fine form, just singing along with the program, having a great time.
This is a quality production that aired on The Disney Channel and uses very cool-looking puppet characters in a unique way. The kids (and I) liked the characters, the costumes and the dancing, which were all first-rate.
A GREAT Kids (probably 3-8 years) DVD, which allowed the kids to go back instantly to their favorite song over and over... until I stopped that!
Great for your own family or as an excellent low-cost gift - - I will definitely be getting Vol. 2 soon."
The Mother Goose Video Treasury on DVD! Great!

"Made back in 1987 as "The Mother Goose Video Treasury", this is the endearing production made. It features Cheryl Rhoalds as a young human Mother Goose and Will Ryan as the funny, but, often wisecracking Bertram. In the town of Gooseberry Glen, Mother Goose and her friendly "watch-goose" help many of the town, including the goofy Humpty Dumpty, Who falls after Mother Goose tells him to down from the wall. She comes to his aid after his "Great Fall"."
Lifesaver for the kids

"I own the Mother Goose VHS videos. My daughters both love it so much the tapes are worn out. I couldn't find replacement videos anywhere. I am SO glad I found these DVDs!!"
