Animals

Your videos are truly inspirational. I love how you used the concept of penguins, and partying. It’s funny and silly, and it is also very cute and gives a warm feeling. -Satisfied Customer

I have ordered a number of the "Lots and Lots" videos in the past and have been very satisfied with them. My grandson loves the DVDs. I am going to order for his birthday the set of two “Lots and Lots of Penguins" because it’s such a great price. Thank you! -Frances, Satisfied Customer

My son really enjoys his new Penguin movie! It is now his favorite animal! -Satisfied Customer

Books

TV’S GREATEST GAME SHOWS BOOK

A wonderful and nostalgic compilation of TV Game Show history!

I found this little goodie to be a concise and quick guide to the evolution of these shows from early radio to present day.

As you follow the chronology of shows and ideas, you’ll notice how they reflected the times and showcased the celebrities, audience participation and of course, those prizes!

Loaded with pictures, facts, highlights and even nods to the hosts with the most!

This is an invaluable reference to one of the most addicting genres in TV history! – Frank Partipilo, TV industry veteran and instructor of TV production at a Chicago Communications college.

LOTS & LOTS OF FIRE TRUCKS & FIREFIGHTERS BOOK

A great combination of historical fire facts & modern-day heroes! – David Lewis, Curator Aurora Regional Fire Museum

A virtual encyclopedia of every imaginable facet of firefighting, condensed into a wonderfully compact volume…it will delight readers of all ages! K. Corey Keeble, Curator Royal Ontario Museum

The book was very interesting, informative and a good source of basic learning about the fire service. – Brian Leahy, Fire Chief Clarendon Hills Fire Department, Illinois

What a pleasure this book is! The images were great and it presents the fire service and its remarkable history in an exciting and accurate manner. I can’t imagine anyone who picks up this book (whether a firefighter, civilian adult or child) being able to put t down until the very last page has been taken in. – Mike Madden, Firefighter and Paramedic – Barrington Ilinois

TV’s GREATEST GAME SHOWS DVD

This was a pretty good show. Some segments were too short, and others too long, but all in all it's a good journey back in time for an hour and a half. – Jim, San Antonio

IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE THOSE TYPE OF SHOWS BECAUSE THAT IS HISTORY FROM YEARS GONE BY AND THAT'S REALLY GREAT. I GIVE THIS DVD 5 STARS BECAUSE I LOVE ANY TYPE OF SHOWS RATHER IT BE GAME SHOWS,QUIZ SHOWS OR JUST OLD TIME TV SHOWS FROM THE PAST I JUST LOVE THAT TYPE OF HISTORY. IF YOU LOVE OR LIKE ANY SHOWS LIKE THAT THEN THIS DVD IS FOR YOU IT'S JUST ABOUT GAME SHOWS AND QUIZ SHOWS BUT IT IS A GREAT WONDERFUL DVD TO OWN IF YOU LIKE OR LOVE STUFF LIKE THAT. I AM SO GLAD THAT I BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE IT GAVE ME ALOT OF INSIGHT TO THE GAME SHOWS AND QUIZ SHOWS THAT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE AND NOW I HAVE THEM TO WATCH ANYTIME I WANT. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! - Cynthia, California

TV'S GREATEST GAME SHOWS is kind of a retrospective of some of the favorite game shows of the 1940s-early 1960s. The format of the disc is to discuss a certain number of shows from a particular game show format. When the show aired, what networks it was broadcasted on, how the show was played, who hosted, and usually some interesting facts about the show. That's followed by a segment (and in some cases almost an entire show) from one or two of the shows that were mentioned earlier. Some of the more memorable segments I remember from the DVD are when Salvador Dali appeared on "The Name's the Same", Harper Marx visiting Grocho on "You Bet Your Life", and the first part of the appearance of Vincent Price on "The $64,000 Challenge". Most of the video segments on the DVD can be found somewhere in the nether regions of the Internet, but only if you know exactly what you are looking for. Personally, I think it's more convenient seeing them here on this DVD because not only do you get to see the videos but you're also given some context about them. I enjoyed watching this DVD and found it both entertaining and educational. – A Customer from Illinois

From a different era and better than 90% of the disgusting shows on during prime time now. My grand kids of all ages love to watch it with me and ask why there aren't shows like it now. Woody, Iowa

Dr. Carver is one of my favorite heroes. I wish I knew about him when I was growing up. Every American child should know his story. What an inspiring man! -Ellen, Satisfied Customer

Thank you so much! I ordered Lot & Lots of Fire Trucks for Christmas 2008. That was for our first grandson. Now we have 2, and they watch it almost every time they come over. They still love it! One likes trains and the other likes planes, so this is a perfect gift. We ordered the 2 DVD pack, so we can send one home with them, and keep one here. -Jan Omaha, NE

Hello Marshall Publishing, We've been happy customers of both "Lots and Lots of Trucks" (Vol. 1 and 2) ... and "Lots and lots of Fire trucks" (again Vol. 1 and 2). Our son enjoys watching said videos over and over. -Smilingly Satisfied Customer

We live in New Zealand and our son, Hunter, (now 4yr) has been watching the ‘promo’ for Lots and Lots of Fire Trucks on YouTube since he was very little. He also watches the ‘promo’ for Lots and Lots of Trains. Hunter watches these several times a day… everyday!! So maybe it’s time to buy them - Jayne and little Hunter

Hello! I loved the Lots and Lots of Fire Trucks DVD! -Alysson from Brazil

Thank you so much! I ordered Lot & Lots of Fire Trucks for Christmas 2008, I found you online at that time. That was for our first grandson. Now we have 2 grandsons, and they watch it almost every time they come over to our house, they still love it! One likes trains, and the other likes planes, so this is a perfect gift. We order the 2 DVD pack, so we can send one home with them, and keep one here. -Jan, NE

Thank you so much for the Vol. 3 DVD. My nephew, Jack, loves it. He was so excited when I gave it to him. After he watched it a few times he said, "I can't wait for season 4". They are really nice DVDs. -Anne, Satisfied Customer

My son watched your video on YouTube and I ordered and received some of your videos, and they are fantastic. My 5 year old son loves the fire trucks. He’s in there now watching one. Now his cousin who is 3 wants the video. I think the videos are beautifully presented and I know my son just loves the fire truck ones! -Catherine from Australia

I just wanted to thank you for publishing the DVD "Lots and Lots of Fire Trucks". I am raising my grandson, Kirk, and his favorite thing in the world is Fire Trucks. He's only 26 months old and can name the different kinds of trucks. He is at this moment watching the DVD again (he wants to watch it every day). Nothing else captivates him like Disk 1 of this set. The narrator does a fantastic job of "talking" to young children. Kirk suffers from Dandy-Walker Malformation and faces many challenges, so it is a joy to watch him enjoy something so much. -Jeanne

My son loves your lots of Fire Trucks DVD's. Moments ago I purchased the 2 DVD set “Lots and Lots of Trucks" from your website at Marshall Publishing. My son has his heart set on it! -Kristin, IL

My child is 4 and watched your videos on YouTube and has to have them. His dad is a captain on the fire department here so every toy and everything in our house is fire trucks, books, and toys. Thanks! Lauri from Canada

I just wanted to say thank you so much for mailing the Lots & Lots of Fire Trucks DVD. My son had the biggest smile on his face. Christmas is approaching, and I will definitely be purchasing items from your company! Anyways, just a quick note to say thanks again; my 3 year old is just so happy. -Laurie, Satisfied Customer

I can't even tell you how MUCH he loves them. This is the only video where he stands in front of the screen and marches and "sings" the songs. -Linda, Satisfied Customer

My 4-year old son, Max, loves to watch the Fire Trucks DVD on YouTube! He sang it to his class today! -Rob from the UK

My 3-year old son absolutely loves this movie! He sings “Lots and Lots of Fire Trucks”!! -Satisfied Customer

My son’s first movie that he ever watched was Lots and Lots of Fire Trucks. He LOVES it! -Satisfied Customer

My 2-year old nephew LOVES watching your Fire Trucks videos! -Robert from the UK

My son ignored the rest of the gifts he received at his party as soon as we put in the first DVD. We read the book AT LEAST 10 times since Saturday, and again this morning before work. Thank you for making my son's day such a wonderful day and for creating such wonderful memories for our family. "Captain Nick" had the most fun day I've ever seen a child have! Nick told me that Fireman Brian was his best friend. -Wendy, Very Satisfied Customer

Like most kids, my kids love fire trucks, so this is right up their alley. The songs are fun and the pictures are very exciting. I also like the safety things that are in this show. We have both videos and the boys watch them almost every day.

My 22 month old son enjoys this video! It doesn't hold his attention the entire time, but not much does. My 4 year old nephew was visiting for the holidays, and once he saw this video he kept asking to watch it again and again. Good buy. - Customer

Kids love it and have most of the songs memorized. They even remembered what they learned when we went and visited the fire station in town. - Customer

This is a great flick for young people especially, since it teaches them about fire safety. The film is just plain fun and has good exposure to various fire trucks. - Customer

I bought this movie for my 7 year old son who is a fire truck fanatic. He loves this movie! - Customer

My son (14 months) loves Lots and Lots of Trains so I was excited to see how he'd do with the fire trucks...he had just as much fun as with the trains. The music, again, is so much fun and there is such great footage of all the parts of fire trucks. While my son was dancing to the music and enjoying what the fire trucks look like, I was actually learning something. These videos are so fun and interesting...I can't wait to see what these guys come out with next! -Happy Customer

My son loves this video!! He watches it over and over again!!! My son has a small dvd player, and watches the dvd on the player while he plays with his fire trucks in his room...playing along, singing along. It will provide us with hours of entertainment. Already has!! -Happy Mom

Jets and Planes

The Volume 2 was received and my grandson is enjoying it!! -Donitta, OK

I love your video and I love planes!!! -YouTube Customer

I just had to get this dvd when I first saw the commercial watching [adult swim]. I don't have the energy to use my keyboard and mouse on my computer to see these clips, I can just pop the dvd into the player, sit back, and enjoy! - Customer

My 3 year old grandson loves this DVD. It holds his attention with fast changing pictures of military and civilian aircraft and some spacecraft. -Web Customer

The movie was very cool with lots of planes and jets… my 7-year old loved it! -Happy Customer

This is good fun for boys and girls in that 3-5 year old range. -Tom

Monster Trucks

I just picked up the Monster Truck Classics 3 DVD set from you and it is awesome!!! I had all of these on VHS years ago and it was nice to be able to sit down and watch them again. - Mike

I recently purchased your “Monster Truck Classics” and “Lots and Lots of Monster Trucks” DVDs, and quite enjoyed both of them. It was very nice to see the older monster trucks shows put onto DVD. -Mark

I had been watching them on YouTube, but it’s so great to finally have the DVD!!! -YouTube Customer

My wife and I have two boys one of which is 2 years old and is pretty much obsessed with cars and trucks, and dinosaurs and is really a boy's boy. He also loves Monster Trucks. We've got some from our library but spent most of the time wincing at the idiots they had hosting the show. Finally I said that all they really need is a tape only showing monster trucks for an hour and nothing else no stupid skits or pointless voice overs that kids don't care about anyway. This DVD fits the bill perfectly. It's never dull and just keeps the action coming. It's perfect for little kids who just want to watch the trucks do their thing. If you have kids you couldn’t ask for more. -A Customer

My 2 year old son loves monster trucks, but we have never taken him to actually see them because they are so loud. We bought this video in hopes that it would be the next best thing to seeing them live...it is! He loves watching the trucks drive over cars, roll over and crash. My husband and I even enjoy watching. This video is worth every penny! -A Mom

I bought this dvd because it had a lower price than the ones at the actual monster truck show we went to. I was surprised by the length of the show. It is pretty long and great for long car trips. This video is short clips of various races in both the U.S. and other countries. It breaks out of the clips by different things the trucks do. Like crashing, mud racing, water racing and more crashing. It is great for kids! - Customer

I bought this for my monster truck-obsessed 3 year old. He absolutely ADORES the video. He plays it pretty much every day. It has lots of footage and changes from one thing to the next so young ones don't lose interest. I would definitely recommend purchasing this for any kid who thinks monster trucks are the end-all and be-all. - Customer

Love this dvd!! I bought it for my 4 year old who is really into trucks and monster trucks. He watched it over and over and over!!!

The name says it all. This is a dvd of a whole heck of a lot of monster trucks. No talking heads, no nothing to distract from the point. To a toddler, this is nirvana. Since we got this for our two year old son, I'm rating this a complete success. If you have a young one that adores all things vehicular, they will love this video. Toddlers don't care what the talking heads have to say, they want to watch TRUCKS. With this dvd, they get to.

I bought this dvd for my Grandson, he is 4 and just loves this video!! We watch it all the time at home and in our van. It just took a couple of days to get here and was worth the money. I would recommend this video for anyone with little boys that love monster trucks. - A Happy Grandparent

Purchased for 3 year old grandson...he would watch this DVD non-stop if allowed...he loves it! It has good variety of trucks and other vehicles to entertain for hours! - Grandparent

My son is 4 years old and Monster Truck Crazy. He LOVES this DVD and watches it over and over again. If you have a child that loves Monster trucks, he will love this movie.

My 3 year old thinks it's great. Jumps, rolls, crashes this video has it all. Very entertaining. -Satisfied Customer

We have purchased several really bad DVD's that supposedly featured trucks, trains, etc. This DVD truly delivers. It is ALL Monster Trucks & related fun stuff for kids. Lots of Bigfoot & other well known trucks. Lots of action including demolition derby, rolling ramp cars, etc. No announcers talking, just fun music. If you are looking for just trucks & car video for kids to watch, this is it. No other nonsense.

My son who is three years old, really enjoys this video. There isn’t any narrating of the video just music and monster trucks. If your son likes monster trucks, it is well worth the price. - Happy Parent

My grandson, age 9, is getting to be quite an expert on monster trucks. He loves his collection and this DVD will soon be worn out from use. He can watch this action DVD over and over for hours. Something he can enjoy and share with his Dad. -Very Happy Mom

My 2 year old grandson is absolutely in love with monster trucks. He will watch this video over and over and over. Great item, quick turn-around. Definitely pleased.

Most young boys have a fascination with trucks and my grandson is no exception. My son took him to an arena to see the monster trucks in person but they were so loud they left after 15 minutes. Knowing how much my grandson enjoyed them - I bought this DVD. He has watched it many times and never seems to tire of it. I am now his favorite relative. -A Favorite Grandparent

I will be buying Volume 2 for my grandson’s birthday! -A Customer

This lots and lots of Monster trucks is on at my house just about every weekend my 3 year old son just loves it. -Happy Parent

Trains

We have 2 grandsons who just turned 6 and 2. They LOVE your Lots and Lots of Trains. My husband and I like it very much too. The kids play it 3,4,5, times in a row. The kids are at that age where they love any trains, trucks and now the new thing ... Monster trucks. I know the new DVDs will be enjoyed over and over. Thanks again for a great product and for the speed in which you sent out my order. - Family in Elmhurst, IL

Hello! My son LOVES the DVD… He sings along to the song "Lots and Lots of Trains! Roaring down the rail going down the track...." There is footage of it going through snow, the Napa Valley, dropping a load of pipes (he yells OH NO). He watches it DAILY. - Brooklyn, NY

Wow, my 22 month-old son wakes up every morning and after each nap, and asks for, "train tracks?" He can't get enough of this video. He also loves the "Lots and lots of Fire Trucks" and "This is the work I really love, because that's what an excavator does" video. We are going to buy them all! -YouTube Customer

I wanted to express my appreciation to you for the enjoyment my grandson and I have gotten from your DVDs "Lots and Lots of Trains, Volumes 1 & 2.” We'll be getting Volume 3! The bonus audio CD is great! Marvelous music. -Satisfied Customer

Volume 3 of “Trains” is my grandson’s favorite, do you have any newer than Volume 3 so I can purchase it? -Joyce, Satisfied Customer

I watch it so much I was afraid I would wear it out. I will pass along the business info to my boss. He loved the trains one and is excited to get this next one. - Anoka, MN

Thanks. I appreciate it, and my son will too. He loved the Trains one, and is excited to get this next one. -Michael, MN

My grandsons (5 and 2+) love the Train and Fire Truck DVDs!! -Pearl, Satisfied Customer

We have a 3 year old boy that absolutely loves that folk song, "Lots and Lots of Trains Comin' ‘Round the Bend and Heading Down the Track"!! -Mike, Satisfied Customer

My son LOVES the Trains DVD! He sings along to the song "Lots and Lots of Trains! Roaring down the rail going down the track...." There is footage of it going through snow, the Napa Valley, dropping a load of pipes (he yells OH NO). He watches it DAILY. -Mr. and Mrs. Pratt, Parents of Jackson, Train LOVER

We have 2 grandsons. They JUST turned 6 and 2 and LOVE your Lots and Lots of Trains! My husband and I like it very much too. The kids have to play it 3,4,5 times in a row when they are over. The kids are at that age that they love any trains, trucks and now the new thing ....Monster trucks. I know the new DVD's will be enjoyed over and over. -Karen & George and Family, Satisfied Customers

I played this for a young friend of mine this morning at breakfast, and she made me play it over and over and over and over and over and ... ;-) -YouTube Customer

Thanks for this video, my 4-year old son was screaming with excitement! :-D -YouTube Customer

I LOVE Lots and Lots of Trains!!! -YouTube Customer

My 2 year old watches this video over and over again for hours! He loves it. I taught him how to move the mouse and click replay when it’s over. Love it! -YouTube Customer

My boys are entranced by this DVD. They are watching it now as I type this review. They sing the songs throughout the day and my 3 year old asks for it the moment he gets up. I am not kidding. Very kid friendly and fun. I have caught myself humming the "Lots and Lots of Trains" song many times so I guess that says something! :) We are not big TV or DVD watchers but this DVD is very enjoyable. I should know, I have watched and heard it about 100 times already in the past few months! It has led to many, many books on trains so we can understand what we see on the DVD. I only have good things to say about this DVD. -Amazon.com Customer

My son is only 14 months old and loves this DVD. The first time we watched it he stood in front of the TV and danced to the nonstop music. The music if very upbeat and fun. I even found myself singing the theme song days later. -A Customer

I ordered this DVD for my young grandchild. He watches it over and over. It's a fast-paced look at trains, old and new, from freight to passenger. I will order additional volumes in this series. -Happy Customer

I purchased this dvd for our 2 year old grandson for Christmas and we have played it over and over again. The video shows all types of trains in action and is set to music. We had an old educational train video that our grandson liked to watch, but was so corny that the rest of the family dreaded him asking to watch it. That is not the case with Lots and Lots of Trains - we all enjoy watching this video with him. It is fun to watch the trains and listen to the lively music. I highly recommend it for train lovers of all ages. -A Customer

My three kids love this video - they sing along with the songs and march around the house like a train engine and cars. They watch all three videos...I guess older people who like trains would like this, too. -A Customer

The video was wonderful and we watch it all the time. If you or your children love trains, this is the video for you. -A Customer

My 3 year old and 2 year old love trains. We have lots of Thomas the Tank Engine movies (which they love), but I was so happy to find something with "real trains" in it. They love watching this over and over and sing along to the music. It is a really neat movie that shows all different types of trains in lots of different settings. It is a great DVD for the train lover in your family. -A Customer

My 5 year old grandson loves this dvd. As soon as he walks in the door he asks to play it. I purchased two different ones and sent one home with him. This one stays at Nana's house. It gets more viewing than the Thomas dvds. He specifies that he wants to see the "real" trains. -Happy Mom

This is a great video for kids who love trains. My 4 year old and 1 1/2 love this DVD so much. I think the first week they must have watched it 20 times a day. It was great because it gave me free time to get things done. -A Happy Customer

My grandchildren (boys 5 and 3 years old) are absolutely crazy about them! They must ask 4 or 5 times a day if they can watch Lots and Lots of Trains again. So, if you've got train-crazy little ones, these are the DVDs for you. -A Customer

2 of my grandsons love this dvd. They love trains and this dvd shows several different ones and has great music they enjoy. - Customer

My boys love these DVD's (ages 3 & 5)! They are a bit obsessed with trains and even after a year of owning Lots and Lots of Trains Vol. 1 & 2 and Lots and Lots of Toy Trains, they still ask to watch them. We like them because there is not much talking - just music and trains... Although some adults may wonder what it is about these DVD's that holds kids' attention - it is not as flashy and not top of the line filming as most modern movies our kids are used to watching - but there is something about it that taps into the basic instinct of little boys (and girls!), as if they are sitting on the edge of railroad tracks just watching trains go by:) We have purchased Vol. 3 for Christmas and I'm sure they will love it just like the others. If your kids love trains then they will LOVE this series!!! -A Customer

My three kids love this video - they sing along with the songs and march around the house like a train engine and cars. They watch all three videos...I guess older people who like trains would like this, too. -A Happy Mom

My 3-year-old boy loves this movie. He loves all the music, sings the songs, and he loves the variety of trains they show. The short segments keep him entertained. I ordered volume 1 on VHS (used) and Vol. 2 on DVD, so I would have one for the computer and DVD player, and one that works in the VHS when the DVD gets scratched!!! -A Customer

All three of my kids love these videos. We first got Vol. 1 and 2 as VHS tapes (they were a gift), about 6 years ago (my oldest was just 18mos old). After going through 3 children now (my oldest is now 7 1/2 and I have a 5yo and 3yo), the tapes are worn out and we will get the DVDs. - Tom

We bought this DVD after falling in love with Lots and Lots of Trains: Vol. 1. Our son is only 1 year old, but can't get enough of the great footage of trains in these movies. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! - Customer

If you a train buff this is an extremely good video to own. It is well produced and will delight the little ones! It is money well spent. -A Train Nut

Toy Trains

My son is a Lots & Lots of Toy Trains Vol. 1 FANATIC!! He loves the songs and sings them even when it's not playing. -Satisfied Customer

I got the video and just finished viewing it. Fantastic. What a great collection of toy trains of all sizes and settings! Very impressive video. -Bob, Satisfied Customer

I watch it so much I was afraid I would wear it out! -Jay, Satisfied Customer

My son, now 4 1/2, has been enjoying The Alphabet Train video for two years. The footage is great and provides enough going-down-the-tracks imagery to satisfy him. We enjoy the narration, provided by an adult and children, and the words used for the alphabet are a cut above the usual selection. - Mom in Albuqurqe, New Mexico

My son is a Lots & Lots of Toy Trains Vol. 1 FANATIC!! He love the songs and sings them even when it's not playing. We're even having a clickety-clack themed birthday party:) -Nicole, Satisfied Customer

Awesome Toy Train video! I like the Thomas models, The Big Boy model, and the Hiawatha. Keep up the good work with your train videos! :) -YouTube Customer

The kids really enjoy the Toy Trains - even the ones that were classified as the ‘old type’ trains. They still enjoy them! -YouTube Customer

My 18 month old son wakes up every morning, runs to the PC, and asks me to put this video on. Thank you for sharing, it makes my son’s day!! -YouTube Customer

Great video! I really enjoy Toy Trains!! -YouTube Customer

My grandson has ALL the train DVDs and this is his absolute favorite! Not annoying a bit, I actually enjoy sitting with him watching it. Songs are catchy and he sings them all day long (and I in my head the day through!). Highly recommended – Pat

This is the best Toy Train DVD on the market today and it is not available in stores. Unlike some of the other ones that have hokey narrators or kids talking, this one features lots of non-stop action from all gauges of model railroads and great sing-a-long songs from award-winning musician James Coffey. This Toy Train DVD makes a great gift for young and old alike. There's also Real Steam and Diesel Trains that are part of the Lots and Lots of series that feature music and non-stop action. If you have a child that's 3 years old or older or a child with autism, these dvds are guaranteed to become their most popular.[...] Just search for Lots and Lots of in the DVD category to see all the programs in the award-winning series!

We've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this second edition to the Lots & Lots of Toy Trains series and it's even better than the first! We love all the songs by musician James Coffey and unlike other Toy Train DVDs this one, like Vol. 1, has lots of different sized trains and themes so you're not stuck just watching Lionel trains. So, both young and old fans of all gauges of model railroads will enjoy watching this program. We watch this DVD over and over again! There are 2 Bonus Tracks - one with real live steam trains and a second with the highlights from the Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum in Minneapolis. Not just for the kids either - my father who's 72 loves to watch it too! We watch these and the other Lots & Lots of Trains DVDs (which have real trains in them) at parties also. The action and music are non-stop and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a present or to keep any 3 - 9 year old occupied. --Parent in Illinois

Trucks

I recently bought “Lots and Lots of Trucks” 1 & 2 for my 2 year old little man, and he's absolutely nuts about them! He's watched both videos every day for the last two weeks sometime 2-3 times a day, certainly as often as we'll let him, and shows no sign of slowing down. It's a hit! These videos are his favorite things on TV - bar none. I'm impressed with the quality, especially the music and I would easily recommend these to parents looking for quality educational DVD programs for their little ones. I would only add a continuous play feature to the discs. Let me know when 3 & 4 are coming! -Joshua, Satisfied Customer

My son checked out Lots and Lots of Trucks from our local library over and over and over. He can't seem to get enough, so I thought I would purchase the set for him for Christmas. I am also thinking of purchasing Lots and Lots of Jets and Planes. -Satisfied Customer

Hello Marshall Publishing, We've been happy customers of both "Lots and Lots of Trucks" (Vol. 1 and 2) ... and "Lots and lots of Fire trucks" (again Vol. 1 and 2). Our son enjoys watching said videos over and over. ^_^ -Smilingly Satisfied Customer

Thank God for this video! Thank you! We (me and my son) missed the garbage truck this morning. ;) -Satisfied Customer

Thanks -we did receive them. We also really like the Lots and Lots of Trucks videos with all city vehicles for our 4 year old! -Amanda, MN

Hi, my son checked out Lots and Lots of Trucks from our local library over and over and over. He can't seem to get enough so I thought I would purchase the set for him for Christmas. I am also thinking of purchasing Lots and Lots of Jets and Planes!! -Heather, Satisfied Customer

We've been happy customers of both "Lots and Lots of Trucks" (Vol. 1 and 2) ... and "Lots and Lots of Fire Trucks" (Vol. 1 and 2). Our son enjoys watching said videos over and over. ^_^ -Michael, Smiling Customer

I bought this for my Grandfather AND my son. They both love it!! -YouTube Customer

I bought this for my son who is only 9 months but seems to be interested in anything with wheels. He loves this DVD. And my husband loves watching it with him too! -A Customer

My two year old absolutely LOVES this DVD. He will sit and watch the entire thing, allowing me to get something done in the house without him following me around and wanted to "help" with everything I do. It is a fast paced dvd with many different video clips so he doesn't get bored with any one thing like he does with other videos. I'm very happy with it and plan on getting more dvds from the lots and lots series!

I bought this video with two others for my son. This one is by far his favorite. He loves the songs & they're not even that obnoxious for the grownups of the house to listen to over & over again. I'm seriously considering buying other videos from the Lots & lots series. Well worth the money! -A Very Satisfied Customer

My almost 3-year old son picked this DVD out at the library and has watched it daily. The DVD comprises of video clips of various trucks on the road. Each truck group has its own song - which is a catchy, rock kind of a song. It holds the attention of my son and my 5-year old daughter. Great way for your little truck lover to get his or her fill of trucks! -A Happy Mother

I was very pleased...my nephew, who has autism, loved the dvd so much he danced through the whole thing! - Customer

I bought this truck DVD for my grandsons for Christmas. They can't take their eyes off it. They love it!

My two boys are 1 and 4. They absolutely go crazy for this truck video. The music, film footage and variety of trucks are great. It gets them up at the crack of dawn asking to watch it, over and over again! The length of the video is perfect- definitely worth it! I also own most other DVD's in the lots and lots series and recommend the entire collection. Fire Trucks, Trains, and even the Penguins! I can’t wait for the second in this set. -Happy Customer

Media Reviews

VIDEO LIBRARIAN March/April 2011 (Volume 26, Issue 2) Lots & Lots of Jets and Planes, Vol. 1: Thunder in the Skies! (2010) 100 min. DVD: $12.95 ($14.95 w/PPR). Marshall Publishing (avail. from most distributors). PPR. ISBN: 978-1-936134-04-5. Talk about truth in titling! This children’s program features exactly what its name suggests: nonstop aerial action. The focus here is on the remarkable beauty of a plane in flight, whether it’s the awesome power of the F-series fighters (no weapons are fired or displayed) climbing to the heavens, the acrobatics of a prop-driven bi-wing in the hands of a stunt pilot, or the space shuttle riding piggyback on a Boeing 747. Young viewers board an aircraft carrier, marvel at precision military teams flying only feet away from each other’s wings, watch as planes soar upward before taking death-defying drops to earth (with the pilot pulling up at the very last minute), and visit the USAF National Air Museum. Also featuring original songs by James Coffey, DVD extras include archival footage celebrating the first 50 years of aviation. The other titles in the series are Volume 2: Adventures in the Air and Volume 3: Jumbo Jets in Action. Recommended. Aud: P. (C. Block)

Dove Worldview: Lots & Lots of Playful Penguins Adults, this is a film that you will want your children to see and probably will watch yourself. It is very informative and fun to watch. P.J. Penguin and Animated Penguin will be your host. From an egg to the adult you will see penguins everywhere doing everything. You will learn many facts along the way. Did you know the Emperor is the largest of all penguins? How about the smallest being the Little Blue penguins? The Galapagos are the rarest, the Gentoo are the fastest swimming, the macaroni are the most popular and the king can dive to 700 Feet!! You will see and watch and learn about many other penguins such as the Adelie, African, Chin Strap, Fiordland and Erect crested penguins and many more. I found myself interested in the facts and my children just wanted to see the penguins play. The children will also like the animated dancing penguins and hey, they almost got me dancing with them! In the bonus section you will get to see scenes of birds, polar bears, other marine animals and a penguin cartoon. There is a small amount of cartoon violence. Overall this was a very good program for the children and the whole family and therefore we award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this film. - Dana Lanworthy

Special Needs Customers

I came to your website looking for information on purchasing your train videos. I found the second comment (Great for kids with autism) interesting because the young man who brought me to the site is my 18 year old autistic son who borrowed the dvd from the library. Since he has had it in his possession, he has watched it on average of twice a day for the past 3 weeks! He enjoys it so much and seems so happy while watching all the trains pass by on his TV. Because of this, we are going to have to get him his own copy soon! Thanks for your obviously entertaining DVD's. - Deena, Satisfied Customer

My son sang the I Love Toy Trains Song as a Toddler, and he is Asberger/Autism. Just thought you might like to know you helped with a little therapy. -Thankful Parent

I just wanted to thank you for publishing the DVD "Lots and Lots of Fire Trucks". I am raising my grandson, Kirk, and his favorite thing in the world is Fire Trucks. He's only 26 months old and can name the different kinds of trucks. He is at this moment watching the DVD again (he wants to watch it every day). Nothing else captivates him like Disk 1 of this set. The narrator does a fantastic job of "talking" to young children. Kirk suffers from Dandy-Walker Malformation and faces many challenges, so it is a joy to watch him enjoy something so much. -Jeanne, Satisfied Customer

My 7 year old son has autism and loves to watch your shows. He loves your Monster truck and Fire Truck series. My 3 year old son is ADDICTED to your Train series--we are buying it for his birthday. Thanks for a wonderful product. -Shannon, Satisfied Customer

About a year ago I purchased Lots and Lots of Trains Vol.1 and 2 for my (at the time 2 yrs. old) autistic son. He loved those DVDs so much that it was the only way I could get him to settle down for bed at night. Unfortunately, he managed to get a hold of them and scratched them so badly that only part of volume 1 works. But I still have to play it for him every night (skipping and all). I will be purchasing them again within the next few weeks for his third birthday. I just wanted to say that you are geniuses for creating the Lots and Lots of Trains series. I will definitely be a repeat customer. -Terri, ME

I was very pleased...my nephew, who has autism, loved the DVD (Lots and Lots of Trucks) so much he danced through the whole thing! -Amazed Customer
