The BIG Train Trip

An EXCELLENT video for my little train lover!
I purchased this video for my son because he's IN LOVE with trains. After watching a few Thomas the Tank Engine shows I decided not to let him watch it anymore (They were either teasing each other or being just plain mean to each other, a behavior I didn't want my 2yr old to repeat) and I started looking for train video's online. I chose this one because it was on sale and I love Small-Fry video's, my son has a TON of them and loves them all. This was an excellent choice. It shows you a trip across Canada in the train car. From waking up and eating in the train's resteraunt to going to sleep in the bunk beds. Plenty of footage of trains. No annoying songs. A great purchase, I highly recommend this video for little train lovers! I also recommend the Great Plane Trip and and the Big Auto Plant.

Mom of little train buff
My 2 1/2 yo son loves this video. The train is seen from all angles and is complimented with great scenery. It is parent friendly (no annoying music)and almost relaxing to watch. It is a super video that not only talks about trains but gives a tour of Canada as well.

An Adventure for the Whole Family
Pop this DVD into your DVD player and take a family-friendly, entertaining, and more importantly educational adventure across Canada and 3 times zones. This BIG Adventure begins with Union Station and the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Canada.

As with all of the Little Mammoth BIG Adventure episodes, a child narrator is your guide. Educational concepts are introduced to children (and parents/ educators) via simple graphics such as a map of Canada and the upcoming train route, a "weight" that "drops-in," or animated examples of how many car tanks of gasoline it would take to fuel the 2 massive train diesel engines.

As the adventure begins, children get a sense of the excitement and flurry of activity that goes into preparing for a big train trip (one lasting 3 days and 3 nights in this case). See such jobs in action as:

* Hotel Check-In Staff
* Hotel Bellhop (who takes you and your luggage across the street to Union Station)
* Union Station...
