We bought this prior to going on holiday in a caravan with our little boy. Not because we like to take him on holiday only to plonk him in front of the telly, not at all. However, there are moments when one of you is in the bathroom and the other is making the packed lunches when you need a diversion for your little one and this DVD solved that problem nicely. It also provides familiar voices and songs from home. The DVD is birthday themed which also makes it an ideal gift. For instance one of my friends just had to move abroad and this made a handy birthday present for her 3 year old. All the old faves are there, along with some we hadn't seen before. Our son's favourites were Big Cook Little Cook, Balamory, and the Bonus episode of Me Too. Its good value, there is a lot of variety and there is also a random play feature. I'd recommend it.
