Editorial Reviews

When a surprise package arrives from Miss Vera Goode with her new "Book of Manners for Children," Barney™’s friends questions why minding their manners is so important. Barney explains that they have the perfect opportunity to be on their best behavior because they’re invited to a party! Then their polite purple pal helps his friends brush up on the rules of etiquette by brining Mother Goose rhymes to life and taking the children on a magical trip to Alice In Wonderland’s "Mad Team Party." Whether it’s sneezing, sharing, cleaning up or using good table manners, Barney helps them discover that using their best manners is fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Barney is sure to please, December 5, 2003

I've read other reviews about how annoying Barney can be, but there is alot worse than Barney out there. The kids love him, and there is an educational component to his DVDs. This is one of the better ones. The songs are about sharing, washing and other behaviors we want to encourage. I for one would rather my children be listening to a dinosaur sing about inside voices than watching mindless cartoons.

Perfect for teaching toddlers about good manners - they always listen to Barney! Not only is it the usual Barney and friends fun, it helps little ones to remember to say "please," "thank you," inside voice/outside voice and cleaning up after yourself. My 2-year-old has so much fun watching it - and is learning good manners too! The "Please and Thank You" song is very catchy, and everyone is on their best behavior at the fantastic party. The "Topsy Turvy Tea" from the Alice in Wonderland sequence is also a favorite... including a hilarious one-liner for the parents!

only there was a song about listening to Mom and Dad. Otherwise, this video is everything the other reviews state: catchy songs and great messages. The day my 2 1/2 year old watched it, she started applying what she learned, it was a beautiful thing.
