There's no need to check your fears at the door when you enter the friendly workshop of Bob the Builder. Instead, this is the very place to confront and, eventually, flatten them, especially if you happen to be a little kid who's terrified of heights or the dark. To the Rescue! presents four adventures of the British series (seen in the states on Nick Jr.) interspersed with four miniepisodes, all featuring the most cooperative crew of construction machines you've ever come across. There's Lofty, a bashful blue crane who's crippled by fear when duty calls from far up; Muck, a lobster-red bulldozer whose engine sputters to a stall when he's supposed to pitch in in the pitch dark; Scoop, a yellow worker-bee backhoe; Rolly the steamroller; cement mixer Dizzy; Pilchard, the construction crew's pet kitty; smart-alecky scarecrow Spud; and boss man Bob and office worker Wendy, the series' sole people and mom and pop figures. Each highly predictable segment starts off with the gang gearing up to tackle the torn-up terrain at a new worksite. Soon enough, some tension-filled predicament that at first seems insurmountable--like when Bob is stranded after Lofty accidentally knocks down his ladder in "Clocktower Bob"--is steered toward a happy ending through chirpy votes of confidence and soothing words. Bob is apt to share his biggest fans with another yardful of yakking vehicles--Thomas the Tank Engine and friends. Both will rev the engines of motor-crazy preschoolers coming to grips with the tricky-at-this-age concepts of cooperation and problem solving. --Tammy LaGorce
