My son adores this video! After what seemed like the 100th viewing, I decided to try other heavy equipment DVDs for variety. He would have none of it. Only Hard-Hat Harry. It is interesting and Harry makes it fun, too. Others in the Hard-Hat Harry series include a farm adventure, fire trucks, airplanes, etc...5 stars from my boy!

My dad digged up this video from a box of videos that were my little brothers when he was little. I don't know what it is but my 2 year old son adores this video. He has learned how to operate the VCR just so he can rewind it and watch it again. I remember my brother had the same love for it when he was little. I can see why some kids may not be to interested in it because it is really just alot of video taping of trucks with Hard Hat Harry and two kids that chime in. I guess you just have to get it and see but if I am reviewing this on what my 2 year thinks of it it would get more than 5 stars.

Honestly, this video is similiar in style to a documentary. However, it does have voice overs for the construction machines and there is a guy called Hard Hat Harry who shows two boys around various construction sites. He also narrates on construction projects they are supposedly viewing as the viewer is.

The quality of the film is "B", there are no super special effects or well-known credits associated with big budget films or even children's productions for that matter. Nevertheless, my boys really enjoy watching the video and always point out which "machine" is their favorite. It's also been educational because they have learned the names of different construction vehicles and have corrected me on occasion! High tech video or not, learning is always a plus.

I can understand why some children may not appreciate such a video because there isn't characters dancing or singing. There are no vibrant colors that will pop brillantly from the screen. If your child likes pointing to trucks and construction equipment while the family is out drivng around, then this is a video for him or her. However, it they prefer Barney, The Wiggles or Bob the Builder, you may want to reconsider.

although the construction facts he endlessly spews are undoubtedly accurate, the handsome genie otherwise known as hard hat harry is terribly boring and indescribably dry, not funny at all-- the world might be a better place if he would go back inside the old construction thermos from which he came, at least for a few thousand more years.. ..stick with the Road Construction Ahead/Farm Country Ahead series, even Construction Foreman Dave of There Goes a Bulldozer fame has more style and panache (and that's saying a lot) ..don't believe me ?? then trust my two-year old, he's hit the eject button on hard hat harry each time !

As far as construction equipment videos go, this has the most action and the most variety of all. It is a must have for anyone with children that love big machines.
