Starring: Richard Scarry
A delightful tool to help kids learn their letters, Richard Scarry's Best ABC Video Ever finds Busy Town pals Huckle and Lowly Worm discovering that it's Alphabet Day at school. Their teacher, Miss Honey, invites her students to join in a spirited rendition of "The Alphabet Song." Next comes a series of 26 vignettes developed around each letter and cleverly intertwined with Sergeant Murphy's investigation into the mystery of some stolen bananas. Simple, sweet, and as entertaining as it is instructive, this production exemplifies the great care put into the Richard Scarry video series. --Tom Keogh

Fabulous! Why don't they put this out on DVD again?
As expected, my 2 year old can't get enough of Richard Scarry. My older four boys watched the Scarry videos when they were younger. When they outgrew them, I sold them in a garage sale. Enter baby #5, a total surprise. When I decided to re-buy these for him, I discovered they were no longer available. VHS copies are easy to come by used, but used DVDs cost a fortune. I'm buying one at a time over a period of a few months so as not to break the bank. Worth every penny, though. We don't watch television around here, but my 2 year old is spellbound every time I turn this on. He's recognizing all of his letters, too, which makes me feel better about turning this video every now and again.

incredibly simple, my kids love it
This video is very simple in production and very well done. Very simple in message with a fun storyline that will create conversation with you and the kids. Our one year old son watches this video throughout, everytime we play it.
This video is a must have for my childs library.

Enjoyable And Educational
I recently purchased the following videos: Best ABC Video, Best Counting Video, Best Learning Songs, Best Silly Stories & Songs, Best Busy People. These videos are all about 15-20 years old (release date) and I had my reservations as to whether my 3 year old would like them, as he is very stuck on his LeapFrog letter and words videos (which I also love). When I first viewed all of these, I realized that they are made with very simple animation, similar to when I was young. These videos are extremely charming and sweet. My son instantly loved them and has asked to view them repeatedly. It was nice to have a video with the actual alphabet song, as the LeapFrog letter factory does not have it. The counting video is also helpful in that it counts to 20 rather than 10 as other videos do. He enjoys the silly stories and laughs at all the videos. It is nice to know that kids can still enjoy classics such as these. I am very pleased with them. I also paid less than $1 or $2 for each of them (plus shipping). A bargain!

GREAT videos
We own 4 of the Richard Scarry "Best _____ Video[s] Ever" and they are all wonderful! Not only do my two small children (3 and 1) absolutely love them, but I feel very good about showing them. The animation is very slow-moving and simple--entertaining without being completely graphic-crazy-in-your-face like all the newer computer-animated cartoons. These movies are extremely gentle, calm and low-key and they are great at teaching the kids songs, nursery rhymes, letters and numbers. And also wonderful, they are only 20-25 minutes long, so there's no temptation to put the kids in front of the television for the length of an entire movie....and no protests at stopping a DVD midway through. I HIGHLY recommend these movies if you're looking for something your kids will love and something that steers away from the flashy, fast-moving animated movies.

This thing is junk but my kid loves it
My 33 month old loves it - it's junk, the production quality is weak, and the "story" is lame but my kid loves it. I think it was a great value given how many times he's watched it.

My 2 year Old Likes It.
Just bought it for Christmas. My toddler is very picky about what she watches but I purchased this because her speech is a little delayed for her age. When I first played it, I was sure she would protest because it seems s-o-o boring. On the contrary, she has requested to see it several times and can see it over & over, back-to-back. I wish it had the option for "repeat play" though, because it's only 30 minutes long (could have gotten 5 stars if it had this feature). Aside from that, it was definitely worth the money. Whether she actually learns from it or not is yet to be determined.

Wear it out
I have two 3 year old daughters who love all of the Richard Scarry videos. This video helped them recognize and learn their ABC's much better than me quizzing them with flashcards all summer! They will watch this video every day if I let them.

True to his word - "BEST"
My kids (18 months and 2.5 yrs) love this video and can watch it over and over again. Great and fun way to introduce the alphabet to a toddler. Again, the kids love Scarry's characters. Highly recommend it for kids 18 months and over.
