Videos or Books on Fireman Sam from Sprout

Hi all- My 31/2 yr old son is completely loving Fireman Sam that plays on Sprout! Has anyone ever gotten any Fireman Sam stuff for their kids? I think it is a London based show.

My sister is scheduled to take a vacation to PA over the summer - it will be about a 20 some odd hour trip - obviously they will stop for the night along the way breaking it up over 2 days, but she is freaking out about how her son will handle the trip.

Looking for Fun Videos, Cd's and Books to Buy for 4 and 2 Year Old Living Abroad

We live in Israel and speak English to our kids. However, the only English they really hear is from other adults, resulting in a pretty funny dialect (my son uses unfortunately a lot, for example). I need reccommendations for some fun videos, cd's and books, including some with kids talking to each other..any ideas?
