“Here We Go.” Celebrity/Just for Kids. Volumes 1 and 2, $19.95 each. For youngsters whose eyes light up at the sound of sirens and revving engines, these two half-hour, live-action videos are sure to please. Lynn Redgrave narrates simple information about the workings of steam locomotives, helicopters, bulldozers and more (on Vol. 1) plus milk trucks, ocean liners, double-decker buses and others (on Vol. 2). Children take trips on each form of transportation, describing what they see. You may find yourself humming Peter Alsop’s title song and seriously considering a blimp ride.
