Product description Join Huckle Cat on his adventure through Mother Gooseland. Huckle is looking for his old friend Lowly Worm, and along the way he meets lots of new friends, like Old Mother Hubbard, Little Miss Muffet, Wee Willie Winkie, and even Mother Goose herself! Children will love singing along with these classic nursery rhymes, including "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "Hey, Diddle, Diddle," "Old King Cole," and many more! .com A great way to introduce or underscore the value of Mother Goose, this video uses a simple story about Huckle Cat's search for his missing friend Lowly Worm as a platform for enjoying the famous rhymes. While his mother sings lullabies, Huck wishes on a star that he could find Lowly soon, a wish that carries over into his subsequent dream of traveling through Mother Gooseland. There he meets familiar characters--Old King Cole, Little Miss Muffett, Little Bo Peep--who sing their own rhymes. It's Old King Cole who sends Huck directly to Mother Goose for help. This is a good video for assorted ages. Toddlers are easily enchanted by the cadence and rhymes of Mother Goose material, while the 2-to-5-year-old set can enjoy the story, too. The rest of us can appreciate the wonderfully busy animation and the touching tale of a boy's search for his friend. --Tom Keogh

So adorable, a must have
I first purchased this when my twins were 9 or 10 months old. They love Baby Einstein so I wasn't sure if they'd like this. The Richard Scarry style animation was new to them and they didn't seem interested. After the first few minutes I shut it off. When they were 13 months I took it back out and this time they seemed interested so I watched with them and that is when I realized how good it was. The little scenes and singing are so cute even an adult can enjoy this. My twins love it too. We usually watch it at bedtime since it begins and ends with Huckle the Cat in bed. They will sit and watch the whole thing without getting bored. The songs are all catchy and cute and it's a great way for them to learn nursery rhymes. This is a must have for your child's DVD/video collection.

Something soothing for babes
Found this video in the children's section of the local library when three grandchildren were coming to visit. Two-year-old Maddie suffered a "classic-toddler fracture" of her right leg going down playground slide with grandma shortly after arriving. Together we watched this video about ten times that weekend because it soothed and entertained hurting Maddie. Subsequently purchased DVD from Amazon. Since then grandchildren from 6 months to 6 years have enjoyed the quiet, comforting story line mostly when they are "under the weather." It never fails to calm our ailing grandchildren.

Cute!
So cute. I love Richard Scarry. The ones done by Random House are the ones to have. Songs, cute interactions, educational themes. Perfect length. The newer ones aren’t good.

Surprisingly good content
I'm not a big fan of TV/videos for young children, but this DVD is one of the few exceptions in our house. My 2 year old son loves Huckle and Lowly the worm -- since we have a Mother Goose book, the songs are all familiar to him and that much more fun to see in action. The animation is not jerky and fast like some other videos and is a perfect 30 minutes in length. Definitely recommend this one for the preschoolers!

Great Mother Goose video!
I used this for years teaching kindergartners their nursery rhymes and now I wanted a copy for my grandkids. This is probably the best video of nursery rhymes I've used with children in 33 years as a school librarian. Little children love this video!

should be more entertaining
I bought this for my grandsons (ages 11 & 10 months). They were bored to death!!! Not much more to say except I guess you get what you pay for.

Not her favorite but definitely a good one
My 2 year old likes this video. She sits through the whole thing without ever looking away! I wouldn't say it gets her excited the way her Elmo videos do though. Some other videos get her off her feet and the Elmo videos have her dancing. This is a nice, calm video though and a good one for naptime.

It is rare, glad we were able to purchase it.

聞き覚えのある歌がたくさん！
ねこのハックルが、夢の中でマザーグースの国に迷い込み、友達のローリーを探してまわるお話です。約25分のビデオの中にはLONDON BRIDGE,MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB,OLD KING COLE,THREE LITTLE KITTENS,HICORY DICORY DOG,ナドナド・・・たくさんのマザーグースのうたがでてきます。ハックルは「Lowly～,where are you～?」と何度も叫びながら探すので、2歳の息子はすぐにそれを覚えてしまい、自分のおもちゃなどがなくなったり、お父さんやお母さんの姿が見えないと「Where are you?」と言って探したりしています。聞き覚えのある歌がたくさん出てくるので親しみやすく、楽しめると思います。ビデオの最後には、リチャードスキャーリーシリーズのうち、ABC,COUNTING,BUSY PEOPLE,LEARNING SONGSのビデオの紹介があり、まだそれらを持っていない方には次回購入の参考になってとてもよいと思います。ストーリー性のあるものなので2歳になったばかりの息子にはちょっと難しいかなと思いましたが、歌がたくさんでてくるのでぜんぜん大丈夫でした。

唄大好き!の子供たちは 英語／日本語を区別しません
赤ちゃんや小さな子供の感性豊かな耳に英語をなじませるには、楽しい唄がいちばんです。特にこのビデオは、Richard Scarryのシリーズの中でも唄が豊富で（有名なものばかり15曲ほど）、30分弱のほとんど切れ目なく美しいコーラスが続くので、１才半頃から小学低学年ぐらいまでＯＫだと思います（できれば、日本語をしっかり喋れるようになってしまう前のほうがすんなり入れていいと思いますが）。HuckleがさまようMother Goose Land(夢の中の世界)の風景もとても美しく、登場者もみな親切で優しい気持ちになれますよ。歌詞も、本やＨＰを探せば大体みつかるはずです。Richard Scarryシリーズ中、このビデオと"Best Learning Songs..."をスターターにして、子供が気に入って見てくれるようなら"Best ABC...""Best Counting..."(これも１才半位～。ちょっと画質が汚いです）。続いて、唄が少なくなるかわりにストーリー性が高くなる"Best Silly Stories..""Busy People"(この２本は２才位～）という感じで見せるのが、いちばん無理なくハマれる順番だと思います（子供によっては「アンパンマンじゃなきゃやだ！」という子もいますし。。。）

少し難しかった。
一歳の娘に前、他のリチャードのDVDを買ってとても良かったので、これも買ってみましたが、レベルがだいぶ上がってしまった。英語のリスニングが身につかないと、映像を見ているだけでも楽しいけど飽きちゃうかもしれないと思った。もう少し大きくなって、3歳に近いくらいになったら楽しんで見れるかなと思いました。

ストーリー性が一番ある。
このシリーズは全部で３つ買いました。その中でもうちの子は一番食い付きが良かったですね。ほかのものよりストーリー展開がわかりやすい。おとぎ話だから見ていて飽きない。全編英語ですが、わかっているのかいないのか・・・何度も見たい見たいとおねだりしていました。登場する動物のキャラクターは素朴で（素朴すぎるくらい素朴）私は好きだったけど、こればっかりは意見が分かれるかもしれないですね。

映像がきれい
Richard Scarryシリーズの中でも特に映像がきれいな作品。主人公のハックルが、友達のローリーを探して、マザーグースランドを旅するのだが、そこには、子どもの夢の世界が広がっていて、大人が見ても楽しい。次から次へとユニークなキャラクターが現れ、楽しい曲が流れているので、飽きない。
