Movie Reviews of The Alphabet Train
Movie Review: A Must-Have for your Little Train Addict!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 2.75 year old is a bona fide train addict. Although he likes Thomas, he prefers the real thing. I bought The Alphabet Train in an attempt to sneak in a little education along with his trains. At the beginning, preschool boys sing the ABC song, and then the narrator presents each letter of the alphabet along with words that are associated with trains. The letter is first shown on the screen, then the word or words, so the child gets to hear and see the letters and words. The narrator also teaches the children about different kinds of trains, how trains work, and there is a lot of information about train safety. The preschool children's voices are heard throughout the video as well. My son LOVES it. Not only does he get his train fix, but he is learning his letters. His 5 year old brother is learning new words, too! If you have a child who loves real trains, get this one - its educational value makes it okay to play it over and over!

Kids liked the VHS version of this program so much that many parents call to tell us that they need to order another one because the child has worn the first copy out!
