If you have bought the 'Come on over to Barney's House' DVD you will find this as the 'bonus video'. It takes songs from other videos/dvd's and even tells you which one they are from. My daughter loves it since it has a lot of variety. The 'baby bob hop' is always a favorite.

In this episode, we fine Barney receiving the gift of a jukebox which magically transports him back to the moments of great pleasure, with memories of songs and children which suddenly come to life. Of course he has to put in a little circle with a picture of a farm ("Down on Grampa's Farm") or Mother Goose, or Baby Bop ("Baby Hop Bop") and the like, and it's almost like a musical storybook or memory book.

My toddler girls loved it and wanted it continue. They cried when it ended, which attests to their love of not only Barney, but all the favorite music and scenes they've come to love.

Highly recommended!!!

This video has great songs that keep my daughter entertained and she loves to dance with the music.

*Educational: I have a star although it is about as educational as a video can be.
*Entertaining for Children: yes, my daughter loves this and it is great fun.
*value: Is prices at or below the cost of most videos
**general: the video lets you know where the original song came from if you think there is more you would like, and the variety really keeps my daughter interested.

This has a great title, but there's one problem: it's the same as buying the tapes! It's simple: Wings, Wheels and Waves is the same as Round and Round We Go and When I Grow Up is the same as You Can Be Anything. If your child's a Barney fan, get the other tapes.

This video is great for little kids. My 17 month old loves this. He can't watch a lot of the other Barney videos (that take place in schools) as the colors are drab and there is A LOT of talking. This video is very bright, low talking and can easily forward scene to the next song. The only bad news is that all the songs are taken from other videos. But, hey, if they watch it....WHO CARES!!

There are some good scenes in the DVD showing toddlers and older kids dancing. However, most of the DVD is Barney talking. I wanted more dancing tunes, and more dancing. I wanted to have the little guy see other kids dancing to music. Mostly what you get here is Barney. I would imagine that the owners of Barney are always trying to sell the Barney franchise. However, what I wanted is not the promotion of Barney but the promotion of dancing for kids. This video was not very helpful for getting the little guy to move and dance. Too bad, since Barney has the money to produce excellent videos. This one falls short.

My granddaughter's favorite. This is actually our second copy because the first one wore out from watching it so much.
