My Thoughts:

My daughter and I love to watch Chuggington on television whenever we can.  Usually Savannah is napping when it is on, and it I remember to Tivo it, then we watch it when she gets up.  As a parent, I love how this series teaches preschoolers lessons through the use of their three main characters, Wilson, Koko and Brewster.  In each 10-minute episode, little Chuggers follow these three as they learn to become independent trains, all while learning to work together to accomplish various projects.  My daughter loves this series for the catchy theme song and the CGI animations.  I love how each episode is only 10 minutes long, so that I can control the amount of time my daughter spends in front of the television.  And, she doesn’t like to sit still for long, so these episodes are long enough for her to enjoy without getting bored.

If you have a Chuggington fan in your house, this would be a great DVD to add to their collection, if it isn’t apart of it already. 

You can buy this DVD and other Chuggington titles at Amazon.com
