Our daughter is 16 months old - she received this DVD for her first birthday. For all of us, it was our inaugural Barney experience!

As a first time sometimes naive parent who was very reluctant to introduce anything on the television, I honestly thought it would only make interesting background scenery but how wrong was I! Daniela is extremely interested in the antics of Barney and his friends! For us it's a pleasure to see her entranced by a simple hour of gentle children's songs, dances and visions. It's what I consider good TV - as her own speech and body coordination develop, it's great fun to watch her starting to sing along and learn the dance moves, not to mention great exercise for me when I get involved!

The only down side - you will find yourself on a quiet day at work humming away, something along the lines of "quack, quack, quack, let's do like the duckies do!"

***Parent Annoyance Meter Rating: 2*** (1= not annoying whatsoever, I would watch this without my child - 5=If I have to watch this again, someone better bring me a straitjacket)

This is my favorite Barney right now (out of our library of about 8 episodes). It starts with the kids in the park playing clapping games and making rhythms. Next they sing "If You're Happy and You Know It" which involves clapping and stomping, etc. Later the kids decide to have a band and each one picks an instrument. They go into the playhouse to find items that can stand in as their instruments. My heart melted the other day when my two-year-old picked up a fat marker, held it like a flute, and made little flute noises like she was playing it. If you get only one Barney video, GET THIS ONE!

My daughter(almost 2) LOVES Barney!! However she barely even pays attention to this video. Its ok but my recommendation would be to purchase a different Barney sing and dance video!!

My 18-month-old son can't get enough for this DVD and the Sing and Dance with Barney DVD. I especially like how this one includes dancing and exercise, encouraging more than just sitting and watching. Based on how much my other two sons liked Barney, I expect these DVDs will see lots of use over the next few years! (Now if they would just make a Barney work-out video we can do together, I'd be REALLY happy!)

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves to sing and dance and this DVD is great. She interacts with it so much.
