Description
If you know a child that loves trucks, they will be fascinated with the Twenty Trucks video. Twenty Trucks shows 20 different trucks "doing their jobs" -- a dump truck being loaded and then dumping dirt and rocks, a vacuum truck sucking up trash, a cement truck being loaded and pouring cement, a monster truck jumping a plane and crushing cars -- and 16 other trucks in action. The video clips are accompanied by the real sounds of the trucks and simple narration explaining the job that each truck performs. There are no silly characters or actors in this video -- just trucks.

 the best June 21, 2008
One of my son's favorite DVD's. He is 2 now, we got it when he was 1,5. He will sit there for the whole thing, so I can cook dinner or catch up on my chores. He can also count to ten by himself now and I think the DVD helped a lot because they count trucks and after watching it 500 times or more :) he started counting himself.
Must have for the truck loving kid January 30, 2008
We've been borrowing this from the library for weeks now. Time to get our own copy! My 2 year old son shouts out the names of trucks whenever we drive anywhere. He has learned a ton of vocabulary from this dvd--I was very surprised to hear him tell me all about the "grapple" on his crane truck. Yes, you will get the song stuck in your head, but it's not nearly as annoying as some others out there.
 Not for kids who know a wide range of trucks already. December 13, 2007
This video would be a good intro for very young kids who are interested in trucks, but if you have a young child who already knows and loves trucks like excavators, wheel loaders, demolition trucks, feller bunchers, jackhammer trucks, bulldozers, mini-loaders, and the like, I would not buy this one. There are only about two trucks that were interesting for my three year old who loves trucks - the vacuum truck and monster truck. Out of the twenty, there are some really boring ones - even a bus and a pickup truck! If your little one is into construction trucks this will be a huge disappointment.
Best Truck DVD ever July 17, 2007

My son loves this DVD. He would watch it every day (or more) if we would let him. We tried other DVDs and most were really hooky. This one isn't. Although the cinematography isn't professional, that only bothers some reviewers. My son could care less. He is fascinated! We love driving down the street and naming all the trucks we learned in the video. My son is 2 now and has been watching this video for at least 6 months. He asks for it by name. I just bought 4 more copies for his friends.
Great for toddlers, a little mind numbing for grown ups June 6, 2007

Ok - my two year old LOVES this, so it should probably get 5 stars. He wants to watch it ALL the time. He'd probably have it on a continuous loop if he could.
I don't mind the "home brew" quality of this dvd - it's actually part of the charm - but the narration could seriously drive you over the edge. The script is weak and voiceover actors obviously went to the same school of acting as the kids on Barney. The syrupy voices exclaiming, "You're so smart!" or "That's as high as a pro-basketball hoop!" could drive any parent over the edge.
