I purchased this first Barney video for my now 22 month old daughter 2 months ago. This is at a time when she's really learning to speak our language, and she has learned quite a bit from this video. She loves Baby Bop and sings along with Itsy Bitsy Spider, and is even more thrilled when I join in. The alphabet sequence is long, but that's a good thing because it reinforces what she is already learning about letters. There are many songs in the video, and the scenery changes with each song so it keeps her interested and entertained. She also loves to dance along with the kids and the characters. There is an underlying storyline which she does not understand, but I know she will grow into it. I highly recommend this video for your toddler.

I think this is one of Barney's best works. Highly recommended for ages 2+ because some topics require conceptual understanding. Many things are portrayed here : colours, alphabets, shapes & all in a very catchy, unforgettable manner. My 2 yr old is extremely good with his colours & shapes due to this (now he is 3) & also loves reading books. There is emphasis on reading & a children's story (Little Red Riding Hood) is re-enacted flawlessly. The kids are mostly natural & don't over-act much. I find myself watching & enjoying with my son too. The DVD has other menu options such a book read aloud by Barney which captivates my son. I don't think I've seen him blink as few times as when watching this DVD! Excellent & definitely worth many watches!!

This is the first Barney Disc I have bought. Barney is not well known in Australia but my daughter (almost 3 years old) loves the DVD. She dances around and joins in the activities.

I was particularly pleased with the bright vibrant colours and the clarity. The educational subjects (ie 123 & ABC) were varied and well thought out.

Great value for money with the added material, interactive games, previews on other Barney shows.

I will definitely be purchasing more !

I bought this tape because my toddler is bilingual and it is in Spanish too. So far she has watched it only a few times, but she is definitely more and more interested every time she sees it. It's great for teaching basic skills, such as counting and the alphabet...

This is the first Barney DVD I bought for my 18 month old daughter. She absolutely loves it. She watches it only about 10 times a day! Now even I know all the words. The songs are catchy and educational, with dancey rhythms. She has put aside Sesame Street and Blues Clues for this one. This DVD keeps her busy for extended periods of time. When I invite my friends over who have little ones too, they have their own party with this DVD. I absolutely recommend it for keeping the very active 18 month old busy and educated.

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year who has alot of other Barney videos and this one is the best. I personally don't like watching Barney but both of kids do. I have to say "lets play school" is the most educational and that's what's most important. They go over shapes, colors, abc's and my toddler really participates and follows along. This video definitley makes learning fun. Even my 8 yr old watches it. She says it the only Barney video she likes since she has outgrown the rest. :)

As the mother of a very active 20 month old boy I highly recommend this video. While teaching the values of reading, counting and learning in general, this program provides a colorful and fun background for the subject of going to school. My son will watch nearly the entire 50 minutes and always begs to watch the "I love you" song over and over. If you're looking for which Barney movie to buy, your child should love this one!

My 2 year old loves this video. It is well made. The sets are amazing. Love the trampoline set the best. For parents of toddlers, this is a must buy. My 9 year old won't admit it, but he kind of liked it too.

My 19 months daughter loves this and "Round and round we go!" barney DVD's so much. She knows already many alphabets, rhymes, colors. Its really wonderfully done and really keeps her interest watching it. Otherwise she wouldn't like to watch TV more than 10-15 minutes. Now with these DVDs I can do cooking or read or do important calls. :-) I bet all you out there, your kids will love this DVD.

I love this video. It makes me want to cry and kiss it! In this video, Baby Bop wishes that she could go to school, so Barney makes her a school to play and have fun in. Baby Bop shows Jeff, Robert, Hannah (my favorite), and Ashley what she wants to do in school and how she wants to have fun. First stop, the classroom. Baby Bop teaches Barney and the children how to play Eentsy, Weentsy Spider, Thumbkin, and have an alphabet parade. Next stop, the library. Barney reads to Baby Bop and the children "Little Yellow Riding Hood." Baby Bop and the children like the story a lot. Then, Baby Bop takes Barney and the children to the finger-painting room to paint pictures. Afterward, they go to the cafeteria to eat macaroni and cheese for lunch. Next, they go back to the classroom to teach counting. Then, they go to Baby Bop's bubble machine and watch the machine make bubbles of every shape in the universe. Finally, the children and the dinos go back to the classroom to pass out blankets for naptime. Your child will fall in love with this video when you buy it for them.
