The adventures of Bob the Builder and the gang encourage kids to learn about teamwork, leadership, patience, respect, resolving conflicts, friendship and co-operation with others as they work together on the construction site and play together, all important skills and values to teach children.
The lessons that young children learn are the building blocks of character and integrity that will shape them as they grow and will stay with them throughout the rest of their lives. The characteristics of Bob the Builder are a great example to children and prove essential in later working life where building relationships with fellow workers, fostering teamwork in working environments and getting the job done are all important assets in your abilities to succeed in both personal and working life.

Bob can't wait to see his twin brother, Tom, who's coming all the way from the Arctic Circle to visit for Christmas. As Bob's list of things to do suddenly swells to unmanageable proportions thanks to the arrival of rock band "Lennie and the Lazers" and the new mayor's very specific ideas about the town's Christmas celebration, even the ever-optimistic Bob wonders, "Can we do it?" While Bob and his crew struggle to finish the necessary preparations, lead singer Lennie develops laryngitis, John the songwriter and piano player (voiced by Elton John) struggles with writer's block, and Bob's brother Tom stops to help a little lost reindeer and misses the only available boat. Can quick thinking and cooperation make this dismal Christmas turn out merry? Features the classic Elton John hit "Crocodile Rock." (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi
Product Description
Merry Christmas from Bob the Builder! Bob's can-do crew is busy decorating for the holidays and building a concert stage for rock starts Lennie and the Lazers. And guess who's coming home for Christmas! Bob's twin brother, Tom - all the way from the Arctic Circle! Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Spud is up to his usual pranks, Lennie can't sing, and Bob forgot his Santa costume. And it seems Tom won't be home after all. Much to Bob's surprise, Elton John and a mysterious Santa make it a special Christmas to remember!
