Description
A Bob the Builder obsession is no guarantee that your 2- to 6-year-old will want to switch gears to watch Mighty Machines at the Construction Site, but it's a start. Here, Scoop and Dizzy's non-clay cousins shuttle kids to a couple of genuine, cement- and rubble-strewn work sites. Big Cat the Shovel hosts an expedition through an emerging hospital, breaking only to burst into a song that celebrates the pleasures of digging, and Carmen the Crane shows the boys how it's done while piling the finishing touches on a big-city skyscraper. A couple of immigrant machines--a goofball Sicilian rig and a right-proper British bloke--deliver the dash of Euro flair that'll fix short attention spans on the informative commentary. Stunning vistas of dozers and dump trucks in their natural habitats earn this show a respectable three hardhats. --Tammy La Gorce

Mighty Machines at the Construction Site Lacks Variety
I bought this video for my two year old son. He loves all kinds of trucks and can name different ones in his board books. This video was disappointing because it had no variety and was boring. It focused mostly on excavators and cranes, with only a quick glimpse of a bull dozer and fork lift. It did not keep my son's interest.

Mighty Machines series
We have a couple of this series now, the Construction site and Trains. I took the train one to a ski trip and the adults were even interested in it. This series is done in a visual format very easy for my then 2 1/2yr old (now 4) to watch, understand and enjoy. To this day he still goes to the video draw and chooses The MM at the construction site, as a favorite. The format is set up as if the machine is talking directly to him. This series is based from the Toronto area and is a quality product. I could not recommend anything more for this age range. It's not just a mindless video.

Toddlers love Mighty Machines!
My 2 1-2 year old LOVEs this video. I'm online now trying to find it (preferrably on DVD) because our video rental place does not have a rent-to-own program... otherwise we would have at least 3 copies by now. My 5 year old still watches it too, but has switched gears from trucks to robots so is not as interested. The production quality is not all that great (as you would expect) but it has great shots of real trucks in action. The kids love the songs (and I must admit to singing along on car trips). The narration is on the cutsey side (talking construction machines with some goofy names and voices) but much less annoying for adults than the slapstick Dave & Becky of the "There goes a..." series. It is informative for the target age group. I highly recommend this video for young infantren with a fascination with trucks. The other videos in the series are of similar quality.
