Summary: Join the crazy adventures as the Kidsongs Kids sing along aboard all kinds of trucks, an antique car, a boat and even a bulldozer!

Review: My 18-month old son will run into his grandparent’s house and straight to this video. He loves the trucks, rollerblades, airplanes and all the other vehicles. The songs are entertaining we even find ourselves singing along. Definitely a must-have for any little boy who likes cars and trucks.—Renee C. Robertazzi, Middle Village, NY
Review: My 3 children got this as a hand me down. They loved it from the start. While they had 50 other movies, this is the only one they wanted to watch…over and over. My wife and I finally bought other movies from the series and the kids could not be happier. They would watch the movies all day if I allowed them.—bone_123, Wilmington, DE.
