"This DVD is great my two toddler boys love all the sing alongs on it. I think more Thomas DVD's should be like this one. The stories are great, but what my kids look forward to is the music. Great DVD for all Thomas & Friends fans."
Train is not the one pictured, but good collection of songs

"If you are buying this just for the DVD you will like it. However, if you are buying this specifically to add the Gold Thomas train that is pictured to a train collection, beware- the train is not the one pictured. Instead of Gold Thomas, as is pictured, we got some Frank train instead.
Nevertheless, the Sing Along songs are great. I like the Thomas and Friends DVDs that are "song heavy", since my child prefers the music to the stories. We also own "Songs from The Station", and "Trackside Tunes." Out of all three of the "song heavy" Thomas and Friends DVD's, this has the most mellow and gentle collection of songs, which is a nice contrast to the energy of the songs in Trackside Tunes and Songs from the Station. It is nice to put on, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, there are some stories and some interactive parts in the menu. The stories and songs in the set appear to be the older and more "classic" ones as well.
Overall, a great purchase, particularly if you don't care what train you get. But based on more recent reviews, it seems like the trains pictured in some of these packages are not as pictured, and in this case, it is highly likely you won't get Gold Thomas."
Great!

"My grandson loves this video. The first time he saw it was when his mother was away on a business trip. I cuddled him and sang along with the video. He loved it and tried to sing along with me and to repeat the names of the trains. I fast forward through the stories because at this age he loves music and singing more. It is now two months later, and he knows most of the songs. His favorite is the Island Song. He is happiest when the whole family sings the songs with him. I wish there were more sing-along DVD's. It is a great way to teach kids to sing and to teach them words and how to read."
My son's favorite!

"My son loves this so much. We had the VHS tape, played it so much it broke. Now I have to buy the DVD! He is learning all the songs, and he loves the stories, which he repeats while he is playing with his trains."
Good DVD but not my sons' favorite

"My two sons love songs in the Thomas DVD, so I decided to get one with bunch of songs. We also bought "Thomas & Friends - Songs From the Station" together with this one. For some reason, they clearly like "Thomas & Friends - Songs From the Station " better than this one. I still think it's a great DVD but you gotta listen what your children tell you."
