the book kept me reading and excited

My 22 month old son really likes this book. I "sing" the story to him and and he enjoys filling in the words he knows. A nice addition to the bookshelf!

This is currently my 15 month daughter's favorite book. Because the alien child in the book is not gender specified, we've made it into a daddy-daughter book. Which is especially nice when the Papa gives "her" a toolbelt. This is an especially good book for geeky families like ours.

My 18 month old daughter asks me to read this book over and over again. (Okay, she hits me with it) I sing it to her in the car to calm her. The pictures are very unique, bright and colorful. The only downful is that it is not available in a board book.

My 2 year old daughter loves this book, so I am buying a copy to take with us on an upcoming plane trip. She loves to hear it over & over, and I think it will give her a better understanding of what will happen when we are flying (especially the waiting on the runway). For Crews fans, take a look for pictures in this book representing well known Crews books (Freight Train, Truck, School Bus, etc.) Once I recognized one, I enjoyed looking for others.

My 21 month old son loves this book! This is great for a child who is already interested in planes. The text is very simple, which makes it easy for a young child to "read"; simply by describing what he/she is seeing in the picture. The illustrations are also very clear and colorful.

I highly recommend all of Mr. Crews' books. He writes in a style that is very easy for toddlers and pre-schoolers to relate to. Furthermore, his illustrations are positively delightful! However, I recommend this book even more because it was instrumental in easing my son's fear of flying and airplanes. I bought this book and read it to him before our airplane trips and I take it on the airplane and read it to him there as well. As the plane is in the various stages of flight, I show him that part of the book. I am not kidding, we went from a toddler who had to be carried on to the plane kicking and screaming to a kid that is excited about airtravel!

When I bought this video, I was expecting to see actual concert performances of the songs on the listing. To my horror,there were only a few edited concert footage and they were all dubbed with the music from the audio CD. For the other songs,it was worse. It was just Christina in the studio, singing to the microphone all the time with the exact sounds from the audio CD!!

Christina Aguilera, unlike some singers like Celine Dion (who sings live in the same way she sings on her CDs) , has a talent in improvising her songs during her live performances. This video should have featured her actual concert performances - undubbed and unedited! I am sure, in her live performances, she could come up with many new stylisations in her songs which alas, I did not hear much in this video. I did not buy the video expecting to hear the same sounds which I could have got from the audio CD.

The video is really only worth the two songs that are not found on the audio CD - At Last and The Christmas Song. I felt there wasn't much new nor surprising stuff here. As for the talk Christina gave on the video, it wasn't exactly inspiring either.

VERDICT: Borrow this video if you can.

This video is a must-see if you are interested deeply into Christina Aguilera. It isn't one of those cheesy Unathorized videos, but instead has Christina Aguilera narating it and such. It shows some concerts, her talkin and explaining herself, and also has a bonus: her music videos for "Genie in a Bottle" and "What a Girl Wants." It taught me a lot about Christina and it was so much fun to watch. Maybe all you Christina-haters will realize she is a totally awesome person. In the video, you feel like you know Christina very well. It's very good, worth the money, definitly. It's 84 mins of good info!

This is a great film. I bought this a few weeks before I watched it, and finally decided to watch it with my friend (Another fan of Ms. Aguilera). We were pleasantly surprised to find a wonderful mixture of Christina's life, music, and tours. A delightful souvenir for any fan of Christina and/or her music. A wonderful bonus is the beautiful poster (The picture on her latest single, What A Girl Wants) as well as her rendition of "Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire" near the end of the video. The full-length Genie In A Bottle video is also included. Well worth the price. A wonderful performer who does us Pittsburghers proud.
