MICHELLE'S THOUGHTS
My boys both love Thomas & Friends and get excited about anything Thomas related. Jacob, my two year old, has been requesting to watch the Up, Up & Away DVD almost daily now! He really enjoys the Up, Up & Away episode and laughs every time he sees the giant balloon. I like that the DVD has multiple episodes which adds to the entertainment value and story variety. They may be able to watch the same thing every day, but I personally like a little variety in my day, which I'm thankful this DVD provides.
