The Parents Guide to the Best Family Videos

This book should be in every household. With busy schedules a lot of parents don't have the time to research movies, this book does it all for them, easy,fun and caring. It also fits the bill for grandparents.I can't tell you how many times we rented videos not sure if the contents would be suitable for our 6 and 9 year old grandchildren. Thank you Patricia and Steve, you have a winner.

The title says it all! This terrific book recommends the best FAMILY videos -- not just the best videos for kids. If you want to find something to watch together with your children, this is the guide for you -- these are movies that everyone can enjoy. The reviews are lively and personal, and the authors give convincing reasons for their preferences. When they have a prejudice -- not liking Buster Keaton, for example -- they admit it. I also liked the category lists at the back of the book: "Ten Tasteless Movies You Can Safely Say Yes To;" "Ten Sibling Sagas;" "Ten Best Animal Films."

I am the mother of four children (ages 3 through 10). Picking age appropriate videos for my children was daunting. With the aid of this book, I can trust what the author has recommended. Their selections were insightful and informative. I'd recommend this book to any parent. I use it constantly.
